mTRODVCTION. 



INTROIDUCTION. 



lu presenting to the public the "Gazetteer and Business 
Directory of Allegany County," the publisher desires to re. 
turn his sincere thanks to all who have so kindly aided him in 
obtaining the information it contains, and rendered it possible 
to present it in the brief space of time in which it is essential 
such works should be completed. Especially are our thanks 
due to the several editors of the papers published in the county, 
for the uniform kindness they have evinced in calling public 
attention to the author's efforts ; and for essential aid in furnish- 
ing material for the work. Many others have placed us under 
similar obligations, but as credit has been given in most of such 
cases, as well as in works from which we quoted, in connec- 
tion with the substance of the information gleaned from each, 
we omit special mention here ; while still others have kindly 
volunteered their assistance, to all of whom we tender our 
grateful acknowledgment. 

That errors have occurred in so great a number of names and 
dates as are here given is probable ; and that names have been 
omitted which should have been inserted is quite certain. We can 
only say that we haVe exercised more than ordinary diligence 
and care in this difficult and complicated feature of book 
making. Of such a&feel aggrieved in consequence of errors or 
omissions we beg pardon, and ask the indulgence of the reader 
in marking such as have been observed in the subsequent reading 
of the proofs, and which are found in the Errata^ following the 
Introduction. 

It was designed to give a brief history of all the Church 



INTRODVCTIOK. 



organizations in the county, but owing, in some cases, to the 
negligence of those who alone were able to give the necessary 
information, and in others, to the inability of any one to do so, 
we have been obliged to omit many or indefinitely delay the 
completion of the work. 

"We would suggest that our patrons observe and become 
familiar with the explanations at the commencement of the 
Directory. The names it embraces, and the information 
connected therewith, were obtained by actual canvass, and are 
as correct and reliable as the judgment of those from whom 
they were solicited render practicable. Each agent is furnished 
with a map of the town he is expected to canvass, and he is 
required to pass over every road, and call at every farm house 
and place of business in the town, in order to obtain the facts 
from the individuals concerned whenever possible. 

The map of the county was printed with great care by 
Gordon & Lees, of Syracuse, and will, it is believed, prove 
a valuable acquisition to the work. 

The Advertisers represent some of the leading business men 
and firms of this and other counties ; and we most cheerfully 
commend them to the patronage of those under whose obser- 
vation these pages may come. 

"While thanking our patrons and friends generally for the 
liberality and cordiality with which our efforts have been 
seconded, we take this occasion to express the hope that the 
information found in these pages will not prove devoid of 
interest and value, though we are fully conscious that the brief 
history of the county the scope of the work enables us to give 
is by no means an exhaustive one, and can only hope that it 
may prove a nucleus and incentive to future historians, who 
will be the better able to do full justice to the subject, and leave 
our work to secure that favor which earnest endeavor over 
wins from a discriminating public.

the remaining fraction is less than one-half we have made use of the plus sign -to '

P UBLISnER'S NOTICE. 1 5 



A FEW WORDS about CHAMBERL.A1N INSTITUTK wiU probably be 
JTV of interest to our readers. 

This Institution was founded twenty-three years ag;o. It was then and for fifteen 
years thereafter known as Randolph Academy. Many of the originators of this 
enterprise still live, and they have watched with increasing interest the results of 
the generous and wise policy which was then inaugurated. No stranger could visit 
this community without discovering everywhere a refinement and intelligence which 
have been fostered by this school. There is scarcely a family that has not cherished 
traditions of incidents which occurred when some of its members were connected 
with the "Old Academy." From the first, the school was of a high grade, fitting 
students for college when desired, and teaching always the Languages, Higher 
Mathematics and Sciences, in addition to the common English branches. 

Professors Love, Durlasd, Clark, Felton, Gibson, Marsh, Crosby, Dobbs and 
Post, the successive Principals, were all accomplished teachers, and most of them 
graduates in a college course. 

In 1866 Benjamin Chamberlain erected near the Academy, on a beautiful site 
which had been purchased through the liberality of the people, a Boarding Hall 
which cost fifty thousand dollars; and provided by will for the permanent endow- 
ment of the Institution. 

Its name was then changed to the CHAMBERLAIN INSTITUTE, in honor of this 
liberal patron of learning. Mr. Chamberlain was an uneducated man but possessed 
a keen, pene^ating mind, and an unusually sound and broad understanding. He 
belonged to that noble class of self-made men like Brown, Peabody, Vas.sar and 
Rich, who have laid succeeding generations under lasting obligations by making 
munificent provision for the advancement in education of the youth of America. 
The increased facilities thus given to the school enabled the Trustees to increase 
the number of Teachers, systematize the courses of study and make numerous 
improvements in the external as well as internal appointments of the Institute. 
This work was being pushed forward rapidly when in 1872 a fearful calamity — for a 
moment — paralj'zed every effort. The Boarding Hall was burned ! Then came the 
test of the people's love for their school. In less than a year a building was erected 
in every respect superior to the one destroyed. Such liberality as was shown by 
the citizens, we venture to say, was never surpassed under similar circumstances. 
The Boarding Hall is indeed a model. Many good judges have declared it their 
opinion that no more convenient, comfortable and tasty school building of the kind 
can be found. 

The school was probably never more prosperous than now. Its arrangements are 
such as to meet the wants of three classes of patrons. In the first place it fur- 
nishes to all the youth in this vicinity an opportunity to securq, at very moderate 
cost, an excellent education in all solid and ornamental studies. Again, about fifty 
persons can be provided with rooms for self-boarding, and thus the farmers living 
within a radius of twenty miles, can secure for their children such advantages as 
would be impossible to them in their sparsely settled neighborhoods. Scores and 
hundreds of the brightest scholars have been brought out in this way, and not a tew 
have afterwards found a wide sphere of effort and usefulness. 

The beautiful Boarding Hall affords ample accommodations for students from a 
distance. The school thus becomes a microcosm, and gathers from a variety of 
sources those diversified elements which tend to create among students a catholicity 
of spirit, not less than a generous and spirited rivalry. In such a school the 
scholars secure, to some extent, the benefits of travel, since new ideas and a variety 
of experiences must necessarily be brought together. 

During the existence of this school an aggregate of over five tVousand students 
have been in attendance. Its permanency being secured beyond a peradventure by 
endowment, we can reasonably expect that it will not only continue to do well the 
work it has been doing, but increase in power and efficiency. As an earnest of this 
we may note the prospective development of the Commercial Department which 
promises to furnish students with enlarged opportunities for obtaining a thorough 
business education. The following are among the advantages of this excellent In- 
stitution:— Located in a beautiful and healthy farming region. Employs a Faculty 
of ten thoroughly educated teachers. Terms lower than can be. fu rnixhed by ScluioU 
icithout endcrwiiient. The peculiar wants of each scholar considered and provided 
for by having a large number of classes in each of the Common English Branches. 
A delightful, safe and cultivated home for students from abroad, who live with the 
Principal's family and the Teachers. These are the seven Gniduaiinf/ Courses: 

In addition to the Common English Branches which are distributed among the 
different members of the Faculty, there are the following Regular Courses of Study, 
and each graduate of either department receives a Diploma upon graduation. 

1.— The Literary and Scientific Course. I 4.— The Teachers' Normal Course. 

2.— The Classical Course. .'>.— The Musical Course. 

3.— The College Preparatory Course. | «.— The Commercial Course. 
7.— The Course in Light Gymnastics. 

The Fall Term opens August 18th. Winter Term Dec. 1. Spring Term March 23.

ALLEGAN Y CO TJNTY. 2 1 



ALLEGAiSTY COUNTY. 



ALLEGANY COUNTY was formed from Genesee, 
April 7, 1806. The seventh range or western tier of townships 
of Steuben county was annexed March 11, 1808. A portion 
was re-annexed to Genesee in 1811 ; and the towns of Eagle, 
Pike and Genesee Falls in Wyoming county, and Portage, 
Nunda and Ossian in Livingston county, were taken off in 1846. 
It lies upon the south line of the State, west of the center, and 
is bounded on the north by Livingston and Wyoming counties, 
on the south by Pennsylvania, on the east by Steuben county, 
and on the west by Cattaraugus county. It is centrally distant 
from Albany 220 miles, and contains 1,033 square miles. The 
surface is mostly a hilly upland, separjferd by the deep valleys 
of the streams, and much of it presents ff.*e rugged character of 
mountains, whose highest summits are 500 to 800 feet above 
the valleys and 2,000 to 2,500 above tide, and whose declivities 
are mainly too steep for profitable cultivation. The north part 
is less hilly and broken. The hills terminate abruptly on the 
Genesee, which flows through a deep valley. 

Turner, in his Pioneer Histoi-y of Phelps & Oorhairi's Purchase, in refer- 
iug to the scenery of the southern portion of the Genesee country remarks, 
"that the traveller or tourist of what Mr. Williamson called the 'northern 
plains,' who breaks out for a summer excursion to the east, the north or 
the west, may be told that a day's journey to the south will bring him to a 
region of hill and valley, rivers and creeks, mountains and rivulets, cul- 
tivated fields and wild woodlands, which would satisfy any reasonable 
desire of the romantic and picturesque. And if health is the object of 
his summer wanderings, nowhere can he breathe ' freer and deeper' of a 
pure and invigorating atmosphere, or drink from purer springs and 
streams, than in all our local southern region." 

The drainage of its streams sufficiently indicate its elevated 
character. Two main ridges, extending parallel with the Gene- 
see River, and distant from it about ten miles form the water- 
shed to streams flowing into that river and the Canisteo, a tribu- 
tary to the Susquehanna, on the east, and Allegany River and 
Cattaraugus Creek, on the west. The Genesee flows in a north- 

J5

erly direction through the central part of the county, and re- 
ceives as principal tributaries on the east, Rush, Wigwam, 
Angelica, Philips, Vandemark, Dykes, Chenunda and Cryder 
creeks, and on the west, Wiscoy, Cold, Six Town, Caueadea, 
Crawford, Black, White, Van Campens, Knight and Ford's 
creeks. The principal streams flowing east from the east ridge 
are Canisteo River and Canaseraga, Karr Valley, McHenry 
Valley, and Whitney Valley creeks; and those "flowing west 
from the west ridge are Oil, Wolf, Dodges, Deer, Little Genesee 
and Honeoye creeks. 

The rocks of the county belong to the shales and sandstones 
of the Portage and Chemung groups, the former appearing in 
the deep valleys in the north part, and the latter covering the 
tops of the south hills. At various localities the sandstone fur- 
nishes an excellent building material; and in Rushford it is 
quarried for grindstones. The shales in the south-west part 
are highly charged with bituminous matter, and explorations 
for oil have been made in many places. The soil upon the up- 
lands is generally a heavy clay, and in the valleys are extensive 
deposits of rich alluvium and gravelly loam. " It is," says Spaf- 
ford, "with justice reckoned of superior richness." Although 
wheat and spring grains are successfully raised, it is best adapt- 
ed to grazing, and the business of dairying has become one of 
great importance. From the census of 1865 it appears that 
there were six cheese factories in the county, 18,525 milch cows, 
1,655,776 pounds of butter and 1,325,748 pounds of cheese pro- 
duced, and 250 gallons of milk sold ; while from that of 1870 
it appears that there were thirty-five cheese factories, 27,849 
milch cows, 1,908,721 pounds of butter and 220,880 pounds of 
cheese produced, and 3,397,465 gallons of milk sold. The lum- 
bering business, which was once very prominent, has in a great 
measure ceased, and the extensive pine forests which filled the 
valleys have mostly disappeared. 

On the erection of the county, courts were directed to be held 
at Angelica on the 2d of June, 1807 ; and by an act of March 
11, 1808, the county seat was permanently located there and a 
court house and jail were authorized to be erected under the 
direction of Moses Carpenter, John Gibson and Wm. Higgins. 
A jail was soon after erected, but the building of the court house 
was delayed till 1819, up to which time courts were held in pri- 
vate rooms. The first county officers were Philip Church, First 
Judge; Jacob S. Holt, County Clerk; John Gibson, Sheriff; 
and Luke Goodspeed, Surrogate. The jail remained in use "till 
1849, when it was superseded by a wooden structure. April 2, 
1858, an act was passed providing for the immediate removal of 
the county seat to a point on the line of the Erie railroad, but

the execution of the law was arrested by the institution of legal 
proceeuings in the State courts, and on the 17th of April, 1860, 
provision was made for two shire towns and for the reconstruc- 
tion and repair of the old court house at Angelica. Under the 
act of 18,58 a clerk's office was erected at Belmont, where it has 
since been maintained. The courts are now held alternately at 
Angelica and Belmont. The county poor house is located on 
a farm of 180 acres two miles east of Angelica. The building 
is constructed of stone, and though old, its interior presents a 
clean, neat and inviting appearance. The present number of 
inmates is sixty, for whom the building affords ample room. 
The main building is thirty by forty feet, with two wings, all 
two stories high. The building and grounds are valued at 
$15,000. 

The principal works of internal improvement arc the Erie R. 
R, which enters the county upon the east border, a little north 
of the center, and, passing in a circuitous course through the 
towns of Almond, Alfred, Andover, Wellsville, Scio, Amity, 
Friendship and Cuba, leaves it a little south of the center of the 
west border; the BuflFalo Branch of the Erie R. R., which cross- 
es the north-east corner of the county, passing through the 
towns of Burns and Grove; The Rochester and State Line R. 
R., which crosses the north-west corner of the county, in the 
town of Centerville ; and the Genesee Valley canal, which 
entets the county on^the north border, a little west of the cen- 
ter, and extends along the valley of the Genesee to Belfast, 
thence up the valley of Black Creek to NewHudson, and thence 
across to and down the valley of Oil Creek to the west border 
of the county, which it leaves contiguous to the Erie R. R., 
passing in its course through the towns of Hume, Caneadea, Bel- 
fast, New Hudson and Cuba. The Rochester, Nunda & Penn- 
sylvania R. R. is surveyed through the county and passes 
through the towns of Grove, Birdsall, West Almond, Angelica, 
Belfast, New Hudson, Cuba and Clarksville. 

This county with Chemung and Steuben compose the Tvven- 
ty-NinthCongressional District ; and with Livingston and Wyo- 
ming, the Thirtieth Senatorial District. It is in the Eighth 
Judicial District of the State; and forms one Assembly District, 

Previous to its occupancy by the whites the territory em- 
braced in the limits of this county formed a part of the broad 
domain of the Senecas, who lived in considerable numbers upon 
the rich alluvial flats of the Genesee, where they cultivated 
corn and potatoes in sufficient quantity for their subsistence, 
and occasionally camped and hunted upon the uplands, where 
they also resorted for the purpose of making maple sugar. The 
Indian title to the lands embraced in Phelps & Gorham's Pur- 



24 ALLEGANY COUNTY. 



chase was extinguished by a treaty held at Buffalo Creek in 
1788 ; and the title to that part embraced in the residue of 
the county, with the exception of the Caneadea Eeservation, was 
extinguished by a treaty held at " Big Tree," (Geneseo,) in 
1797. The Caneadea Reservation contains sixteen square miles 
and lies upon both sides of the Genesee, mainly in the town of 
Hume, but partially in Caneadea and Granger. This was ceded 
to the whites at a treaty held in 1825, when the last Indian 
title affecting lands in this county was extinguished. In 1828 
it was surveyed into lots of suitable size for farms, by Joseph 
Jones, a Quaker. The Indians did not leave the Eeservation 
till about 1830. Their principal village was in Caneadea, on 
the east side of the river. 

The eastern tier of towns in this county was included in 
Phelps and Gorham's Purchase; the two western tiers, in the 
Holland Purchase; and the two intermediate ones in the Morris 
Reserve. John B. Church, of New York, became the owner of 
100,000 acres of the latter tract, which was bid in for him by 
his son Philip at a sheriff's sale held at Canandaigua in 1800, 
on foreclosure of mortgage held by the elder Church to secure 
$80,000 loaned by his agent. Gen. Alexander Hamilton, to 
Robert Morris. The late Judge Philip Church, of Belvidere, 
eldest son of John P. Church, and pioneer settler of Angelica, 
subsequently acquired a half interest in this tract, and mainly 
through his instrumentality the early settlements and improve- 
ments in that vicinity were stimulated and fostered. The 
Church tract is in the shape of a rectangle, being twenty-six 
miles in length from north to south, and six miles in width. 
It lies upon the Genesee, and upon the transit line of the Hol- 
land Company which forms its western boundary, and com- 
mences at a point on the latter about eight miles north of the 
Pennsylvania line. It is thus described on a map of the tract 
made in 1804: — 

"The Land is of an excellent quality, and theCountry, from the purity and 
abundance of the streams with which it is watered, is remarkably 
healthy. Produce can be transported from within sixteen miles of the 
Tract, down the Susquehanna in Arks to Baltimore, at two shillings per 
Bushel. 

" A Town called Angelica is laid out near the centre of the Tract with 
four Lots in the middle of it, upon which Church and Schools are to be 
erected; for the building and supporting of which 200 Acres are reserved 
near the Town; and as the settlement advances, 300 Acres on the North and 
200 Acres on the South part of the Tract will be appropriated for a like 
purpose. 

" The proposed State Road from Catskill to Presque-Isle and New Con- 
necticut is already opened as far as this Tract, upon which a settlement 
was first commenced in March, 1804, since when a store has been estab- 
lished near the centre of the Tract, & a Grist and Saw-Mill erected.

which are calculated particularly to accommodate Actual iSettlers: —

The settlement of the county was commenced as early as 
1795, in the spring of which year Nathaniel Dyke, a Revolu- 
tionary hero, located in the present town of Wellsville. In 1796 
Rev. Andrew Gray, a clergyman of the Reformed Dutch Church, 
Wm. Gray, Joseph A. Rathbun, and Benjamin Vandemark 
settled in the town of Almond and commenced improvements. 
These are believed to be, and doubtless were, the first settlers in 
the county. The next year Major Moses Van Campen and 
Captain Matthew McHenry joined them; and these were fol- 
lowed soon after by Walter, Joseph, and Samuel Karr, Silas 
Ferry, Stephen Major, Benjamin Van Campen, brother of 
Moses Van Campen, Joseph Coleman and George Lockhart. 
These were all from Pennsylvania, and were followed at a little 
later day by many others from the same locality. Some of 
them brought their effects in a flat-bottomed scow from the 
place of their removal on the Susquehanna up that river and its 
tributaries, the Chemung and Canisteo, to the site of Hornells- 
ville. Soon after the settlement in Almond was commenced, a 
settlement was begun in Andover by Stephen Cole and James 
Dykes. 

In 1801 steps looking to the settlement of the Church Tract 
were taken by Judge Philip Church, who, in company with 
Evert Van Wickle, his local agent and surveyor, and John 
Gibson, John Lewis and Stephen Price, as assistants, undertook 
a journey into the wilderness for the purpose of exploring the 
country embraced in his recent purchase. On the arrival of 
the party at the settlement in Almond, Major Van Campen, 
who was familiar with the country, was readily induced to join 
the expedition. A pretty thorough examination of the tract 



26 ALLEGANY COUNTY. 



was made, notwithstanding the almost constant rains and 
swelled streams the party encountered. Having arrived at the 
northwest corner of the tract, the party disbanded, and, with 
the exception of Judge Church and Major Van Campen, who 
continued their journey to Niagara Falls, returned to their 
homes. On his return to Lyons, Judge Church arranged with 
Mr. Van Wickle to go on to the lands and commence surveys 
and improvements at Angelica, which he had previously 
selected as the site for a village. The erection of a grist mill, 
calculated for one run of stones, and a saw mill was soon com- 
menced, the latter being completed and put in operation in 
1803, and the former in 1803. A framed house for Mr. Van 
Wickle, a small log land office, and a few shanties for dwellings ■ 
were also erected. A tavern was opened by Joseph Taylor in 
1802, and in the same year Judge Church opened a small store, 
which was managed by the late John Gibson, who accompanied 
him in his primitive exploration, and for many years continued 
to reside in the vicinity of Angelica, But it is not ourpurj)Ose 
to give, in this connection, a detailed account of the various 
settlements subsequently made, as that will be done more fully 
under the respective towns. It is designed to refer here only in a 
very general way, and without amplification, to the early settle- 
ments and the more prominent incidents connected therewith. 

The difficulties which the early settlers had to encounter, and 
which largely tended to retard the growth of this new country, 
are so tersely described by Turner in his " Pioneer History of 
Phelps and Gorham's Purchase," that we are constrained to 
quote therefrom. He says : — 

" No new country has probably ever been opened for sale and settle- 
ment, that had as rugged features, as much of difficulty to overcome, as 
the territory which comprises the county of Allegany. Heavily timbered 
throughout, with the exception of small spots upon the river, it was many 
years before the roots were out so as to admit of easy cultivation. The 
new settlements in all early years were extremely isolated. The wide 
forests of the Holland Purchase bordering upon them, had been but little 
broken into, as late as 1809 or '10, and after that for many years, settle- 
ment upon them advanced but slowly. When the settlers began to have 
anything to dispose of, they had no market but such as involved a ruinous 
cost of transportation, over long woods' roads, and up and down steep 
hills. The very earliest years, however, were far more prosperous than a 
long period that succeeded. Black salts, pot and pearl ashes, and grain 
could be taken to Hornellsville, and from thence go to Baltimore, where 
it would command cash. This made for a few years, pretty brisk times; 
but the navigation was precarious, and at best, had in each season but a 
short duration; and soon came on European wars, the embargo to bear 
especially heavy upon the enterprise and prosperity that had begun to 
dawn in the secluded backwoods. Pine lumbta- was good for nothing, 
beyond the home uses of the new settlers. It was too far from the navigable 
waters of the Allegany, even if there had been roads; and too far from the 
northern older settlements, to allow any considerable market in thatdirec- 



ALLEGANY COUNTY. 27 



tion. The tiest of pine trees, instead of being any help to the new settler, 
was a great hindrance, for they constitute the most difficult clearing of 
new lands that is encountered. The first considerable market for the pine 
lumber of Allegany, was at Mt. Morris and Dansville, after the completion 
of the Genesee Valley canal to those points. 

"Independent of other hindrances to prosperity — or especially to agri- 
cultural improvement — two prominent ones have existed: — The moun- 
tains, the valleys and the streams had attractions for the hunter, the trap- 
per and the fisherman, and slow progress in felling the forest, neglected 
fields and dilapidated log tenements were the consequences. The free 
use of whiskey in all the new settlements of the Genesee country, was a 
curse and a blight, the consequences of which — the manner that it retarded 
prosperity and improvement— the strong men that it made weak— the woe 
and sorrow that it carried to the log cabins of the wilderness — would form 
a theme «hat might be regarded as an innovation here; but elsewhere, in 
its appopriate place, would ' point a moral,' though it would not ' adorn a 
tale.' Especially was this an evil where men were attracted by the causes 
that have been named from legitimate pursuits. The other local hindrance 
succeeded when lumbering became a sufficient object to draw men away 
from agricultural improvements. 

" Soon after 1607, a serious embarrassment was added to other difficul- 
ties upon the Church tract, which constituted nearly all the settled por- 
tions of Allegany. John B. Church, who was then residing in NewYork, 
became embarrassed, principally in consequence of French spoliations 
upon American commerce; having made large ventures as an underwriter. 
The title of .one-half of the 100,000 acre tract, was in his son, Philip 
Church, but there had been no division; a mixed interest was assigned to 
trustees, for the benefit of his creditors, and there was no final division 
and settlement till 1815. In all this time there was a distrust of title, which 
hindered settlement and created an unsettled state of things, as the same 
cause always will. 

"The war of 1812 prostrated all of enterprise and progress in all the 
newly settled portions of the Genesee country, where they had no surplus 
produce, were consumers instead of producers. The new settlements of 
Allegany furnished their full quota of men for the frontier, drawn irom fee- 
ble settlements, where they could be least well spared; some were left upon 
battle fields, died in hospitals, or returned to die of disease contracted 
upon the frontier. Peace had but just been concluded, when the cold and 
untoward season of 1816 came upon them, its biting frosts upon hill and 
valley destroying all their hopes of sustenance, creating distress and want; 
driving, in many instances, men to the game in the forest, the fish in the 
streams, and wild roots and herbs, as the only resources to ward off a 
famine. Independent of their own sufi"erings and privations, they had 
quartered upon them the poor Indians of Caneadea, who were reduced to 
the extremity of want. Then came propitious seasons, life and activity; 
for a few years a tide of emigration flowed through their midst, on their 
way to Glean, and down the Allegany, creating a home market for their 
produce. This lasted, gradually declining, until the Erie canal had 
reached its western terminus, when emigration was entirely diverted, and 
the main roads and public houses were deserted. The Erie canal so 
difi'usive in its benefits, stimulating to life and activity, in all other locali- 
ties of western New [York,] but came to crush the hopes and depress the 
energies of the people of Allegany and Cattaraugus. Recovering from its 
first eflects, gradually and remotely its benefits began to reach them, even 
before the construction of the Valley canal. 



28 ALLEGANY COUNTY. 



" It is after almost a half century's struggle, but for Allegany the ' better 
time ' has come. The whistle of the steam cars are startling the deer that 
yet linger in her forests ; the echoes of the boatman's horn, ere these im- 
perfect annals will issue from the press, will be sounding along the valley 
of the upper Genesee ; the dark forests are rapidly disappearing; the neat 
framed house is taking the place of the moss covered log cabin; all is put- 
ting on the appearance of renewed enterprise and rapid progress. Long 
almost a ' terra incognita ' [to] her near neighbors on the ' northern plains,' 
her soil, her climate, pure water and pure atmosphere, [are] beginning to 
be appreciated; and she will soon occupy a better relative position in the 
empire region of the Empire State." 

From the Allegany County Advocate of April 16, 1869, we ex- 
tract the following additional reference to the hardships, priva- 
tions and pecuniary embarrassments with which the early set- 
tlers in this locality had to contend. The writer, after referring 
to the diversion of immigration on the opening of the Erie 
Canal and its sequent blighting effect upon the industries of 
this locality, continues : — 

"This, added to the financial crisis of 1818 and 1819, together with the 
cold seasons and failure of crops, created alarming and almost unendur- 
able distress among tne settlers, and for a time brought settlement to a 
stand. At this time there were few farms in Allegany and Cattaraugus, 
that could be sold for one quarter of the cost of improvements, above the 
original price of the land. Very many of the settlers abandoned the idea 
of paying for their land, and stopped improvements. ISome left the country, 
and more would have done so, could they have sold their improvements 
for enough to pay the necessary expenses of emigration. In 1822 the 
Holland Land Company reduced the price of lands, and began to pay lib- 
eral prices for cattle; which soon changed the gloomy prospects of the 
settlers, and adversity gave way to prosperity and hope." 

The opening of the Genesee Valley Canal and the construc- 
tion of the Erie R. R. through the county gave a new impetus 
to its growth and prosperity, by making accessible ready and 
profitable markets for the valuable products of its rich pine 
forests. With the development of the lumbering business a 
new era dawned upon the settlements. Saw mills sprang into 
existence and rapidly depleted the magnificent forests which 
had so long possessed little or no commercial value. Im- 
migrants were again attracted to this locality and the settle- 
ments were largely augmented by this influx. New industries 
resulted from these accretions and infused a spirit of vital activ- 
ity and substantial prosperity through all the avenues of trade. 
With the depletion of the forests attention has been directed to 
tillage, and a higher order of agriculture has been evolved. 
Agriculture is rapidly merging into dairying, to which business 
the soil of the county is admirably adapted. The good times 
anticipated and predicted by the earlier settlers are happily real- 
ized by the present generation. The rude cabins of an early 
day with their crude appliances have given way to the comfort- 



ALLEGANY COUNTY. 29 



able, and not iinfrequently, palatial residences of the present 
day; the uncouth and fatiguing conveyances, drawn by clumsy 
oxen over rough, ungraded roads, and often through forests des- 
titute of roads of any kind, and without even the poor guide 
aflbrded by blazed trees, have been superseded by rapid, commo- 
dious and elegant vehicles; and the slow and uncertain means 
of communication, by the splendid achievements of the electric 
telegraph and our well appointed and admirably conducted mail 
system. Excellent schools and liberal churches are now acces- 
sible to every village and hamlet; while in larger villages are 
educational institutions qualified to fit the student for any vo- 
cation in life. Then was conspicuously prevalent the need of 
everything to be done; now there is evidence of something 
accomplished. 

Owing to the insufficiency of data at command, we are unable 
to give as full and concise a history of the part taken by Alle- 
gany county in the war of the Rebellion as we should like to 
do. Enough is determined, however, to warrant the assertion 
that she was not behind her sister counties in the performance 
of her duty, and that when the future historian shall be enabled 
to do her justice, her record in that eventful period will be a 
noble one — worthy the devotion of the illustrous sons whose 
lives she sacrificed on the altar of liberty. By order of July 
7, 1862, the volunteers enlisted in this county were organized 
at Portage, where the 136th Infantry regiment was formed that 
year. Besides this, portions of the 23d, 27th, 64th, 85th, 93d, 
130th, 160th, 189th and 194th infantry; 5th, 6th and 19th 
cavalry; and 2d mounted rifles were raised in this county. 



30 ALFRED. 



GAZETTEER OF TOWNS. 



ALFRED was formed from Angelica, March 11, 1808, 
and a part of Angelica was annexed in 1816. Almond and 
Independence were taken off March 16, 1821 ; a part of West 
Almond, April 15, 1833 ; and a part of Ward, Nov. 21, 1856. 
The first town meeting was held at the house of Benjamin Van 
Campen, on the first Tuesday in April, 1808, and the following 
named oflBcers were elected:— Joseph Karr, Supervisor ; Joseph 
A. Eathbun, Town Clerk; John Pottman, Silas Ferry and 
Wheeler Hinman, Assessors; Samuel Karr, Collector; Roswell 
Haskin and Walter Karr, Overseers of the Poor ; Elihu Knight, 
Benjamin Van Campen and Wm. Gi'ay, Commissioners of High- 
ways ; Miles Oakley, Senr., John Mcintosh and James Ayres, 
Constables; Micah Haskin, Charles W. Clark, Philip Doderer 
and Miles Oakley, Senr., Overseers of Highways ; Benjamin Van 
Campen, Pound Master; Ardon Cobb, Stephen Major and 
Phineas Stevens, Fence Viewers. A bounty of $4 for every wolf

The town lies near the center of the east border of the county, 
and contains 19,200 acres. Its surface is broken by irregular 
hills, separated by deep, narrow valleys, and their highest sum- 
mits are 500 to 800 feet above the streams. It is drained by 
Whitney Valley Creek in the north, and by Dykes Creek in 
the south. The soil is a clayey and shaly loam upon the hills, 
and a gravelly loam in the valleys. It is well adapted to grazing, 
and the farmers are mostly engaged in dairying. The morality 
of the people is marked, and we are advised that no license for 
the sale of intoxicating liquors has been granted in the town 
for over thirty years. 

The Erie Railroad enters the town in the northeast corner, 
and extending in a south-westerly direction, leaves it near the 
center of the south border. 

The population of the town in 1870 was 1,555; of whom 
,499 were native, 56, foreign and all, except nine, white.

Alfked Center (p. v.) is situated on Whitney Valley 
Creek, a little north of the center of the town, and is 
distant two miles from Alfred, the nearest railroad station. It 
contains one church, Alfred University and Academy, a print- 
ing office, {^The Subbath Recorder, published weekly by the Amer- 
ican Tract Society,) ten stores of various kinds, one hotel, a 
photograph gallery, a steam saw mill and cheese-box factory, a 
sash, door and blind factory, two wagon shops, two blacksmith 
shops, an undertaking establishment, and about five hundred 
inhabitants. 

Aljred Uriiversity was founded in December, 1836. It has 
two general departments — an academic and a collegiate — each 
having a male and female department, with equal powers and 
privileges. The academic department was incorporated in 

1842, and received under the visitation of the Eegents Jan. 31, 

1843. It was incorporated as a University March 28, 1857, and 
organized as such April 15, 1857. It has eighteen professors 
and instructors, and 179 male and 184 female students. The 
value of the buildings and grounds is $63,500 ; of library, cabi- 
net and apparatus, $13,500; and of other college property, 
$80,000. It has an income of $11,273.86, and is under the care 
of the Seventh Day Baptists.* 

Alfred, (p.v.,) (formerly known as Bakers Bridge,) is situated 
on Whitney Valley Creek, and on the Erie Kailroad, in the 
north-east part of the town, and contains one chi>rch, (Seventh 
Day Baptist,) four stores of various kinds, one hotel, a black- 
smith shop, shoe shop, some twenty-five dwellings, and about 
110 inhabitants. 

Settlement was commenced in May, 1807, by Judge Clark 
Orandall, from Petersburgh, Eensselaer Co., and Nathan 
Green, from Brookfield, Madison Co., who located at or in 
the vicinity of Alfred, the former on lot 8. Crandall was 
Associate County Judge. He was the first member of the State 
Legislature from this town, and one of the first in the county. 
He built the first court house at Angelica. Green was a single 
man. Shortly after, and probably the same year, came Edward 
and Caleb Green, brothers of Nathan, who came also from 
Brookfield, and settled between Alfred and Alfred Center. 
They were both drowned a few years after in the Canisteo 
River. Edward Green built the first framed house in the town 
about 1809. Wm. Saunders, from Berlin, Eensselaer Co., 
located about the same year about half a mile south of Alfred 
Center. He served as a soldier till the close of the war of 1812,

but lived only some two weeks after his return home. James 
risk, from Brookfield, Madison Co, came in 1808 and took 
up a farm within the limits of the village of Alfred Center. He 
was a soldier in the war of 1812. He was taken sick in 1814, 
came home, and died in a few days. John Teater, from Oneida 
Co., settled the same year a little east of Alfred Center. He 
kept the first hotel in town in 1818. His daughter, Nancy, 
taught the first school in 1814. Luke Green, from Brookfield, 
Madison Co., a soldier in the war of 1812, settled between 
Alfred and Alfred Center in 1809. His wife is still living in 
the town at the advanced age of nearly 92 years. A daughter, 
(Mrs. Phebe Crandall,) aged 70 years, is living in the town of 
Alma. But few settlements appear to have been made from 
this period until after the close of the war of 18\2. David Sat- 
terlee, from Berlin, Rensselaer Co., located between Alfred 
and Alfred Center in 1813; and settlements were made in 1814 
by Richard Hull, Abel Burdick, Stephen Coon and his son 
Stephen Coon Jr., Jesse Whitford and James C. Burdick. 
Hull came from Berlin, Rensselaer County, and settled in the 
eastern part of the town. He was one of the early preachers of 
the town. His son. Rev. N. V. Hull, has been pastor of the 
First Seventh Day Baptist Church of Alfred Center for the last 
twenty-eight years, and is now editor of The Sabbath Recorder-. 
Burdick was from Brookfield, Madison Co. He settled in 
the northern part of the town. The Coons came from Rensse- 
laer Co. and settled in the central part. Whitford came 
from Brookfield, Madison Co., and located in the southeast 
part, on lot 35, where he lived the remainder of his life. Bur- 
dick was also from Brookfield. He settled in the eastern part, 
on lot 25, where he remained till his death, and where one of 
his sons still lives. Elias Burdick, from Rhode Island, settled 
in the western part about the same year (1814). In 1815 settle- 
ments were made by Freeborn Hamilton, a soldier of the war 
of 1812, who took up 100 acres of land near Alfred, on which 
he remained till his death ; by Elias Smith, who located with 
his wife, five sons, two daughters and a daughter-in-law, a little 
west of the center, on lot 21, and whose son, Elias Jr., also set- 
tled at the same time and place, where they remained till death ; 
by George Green, who located on lot 20 ; by Gideon L. Spicer, 
who settled at Alfred Center ; by Nathan Lanphear, who took 
up a farm in the southern part, put up part of a log house, and, 
in consequence of an accident by which he cut his foot while 
engaged on same, returned to Berlin, Rensselaer Co., whence 
he came, and where he remained two years, after which he 
moved on his farm, where he is still living; and by Amos Bur- 
dick Jr., who located in the south-eastern part, on lot 43, on

the farm upon which he still lives. Hamilton, Green, Burdick 
and the Smiths were from Brookfield, Madison Co. Rod- 
man Place settled near the central part about 1815. He came 
from Rensselaer Co. During the cold season of 1816 he, 
with many others, suffered severely, and barely escaped starva- 
tion. David Stillman, from Petersburgh, Rensselaer Co., 
settled near Alfred Center about 1815 or '16. Amos Burdick, 
Russell Davis and Paris Green came in from Brookfield, Madi- 
son Co., in 1816. Burdick settled in the southeast part on 
lot 44, where he died. His son, Welcome B., who was a little 
over three years old when his father moved in, has lived on the 
same farm gince 1816. Davis also settled in the south-east part, 
but lived only about two and a half years after he camie here. 
Green settled in the eastern part, on lot 35, in March. Stephen 
Collins and Isaac Burdick, from Madison Co., and Samuel 
Thatcher, from Hoxnellsville, but originally from Vermont, 
came in 1817. Collins came in the fall, the whole distance on 
foot, and settled in the western part. His first log house was 
covered with split hollow basswood logs. Burdick settled a 
half mile east of Alfred, where he lived most of the remainder 
of his life. Thatcher settled near the central part of the town. 
Amos Crandall and wife, and Samuel Lanphear, with his wife 
and two children, came in from Rhode Island in 1818, and set- 
tled in the northern part. They brought their goods in an ox 
cart, drawn by a yoke of oxen and a horse hitched ahead. Wm. 
Crandall, from Rensselaer Co., settled in the southern part 
the same year. Joseph Claire, from Petersburgh, Rensselaer 
Co., settled in the north-western part in 1819, and lived 
on the farm he took up the remainder of his life. Abner Allen, 
from Onondaga Co., settled in the north-eastern part in 
1820; and Ebenezer Allen, from Marcellus, in the same 
.county, settled in the north-western part two years later. 
Elijah Wool worth, from Turin, Lewis Co., but immediately 
from Brookfield, Madison Co., where he had lived two 
years, purchased a farm on which some improvements had been 
made, in the western part of the town, and raised some grain 
in 1822. He then returned for his family, which he moved 
here in February of the following year. They came with a 
lumber wagon, drawn by a span of horses. He spent the re- 
mainder of his life on the farm he then took up. Isaac Fenner 
came from Herkimer Co. in 1824, and settled in the western 
part. He was for -a time engaged in the mercantile business, 
but prior and subsequent to that time has followed agricultural 
pursuits. He has been instrumental in fostering Alfred Aca- 
demy and in building several churches. Maxson Stillman and 
his son, Maxson Jr., came in from Rensselaer Co. in 1825,

and settled ou lot 23, one mile south of Alfred Center, Jere- 
miah Burdick, from Rhode Island, settled in the town in 1825, 
He is in his eighty-eighth year, being the oldest man in Alfred. 
Thomas J. Burdick, from Westerly, Washington Co,, R. I,, 
settled in the north-western part of the town in the fall of 1829. 
Other early settlers were the families of Perry Murphy, Charies 
H, Clark, Maxson Green, Luke Maxson and George Stillman, 
who settled at Alfred Center very soon after Crandall and the 
Greens came in. Another, though not among the earliest set- 
tlers, yet an important one with respect to the moral, spiritual 
and gesthetic culture of the residents in this vicinity, was Rev. 
Wm, Colegrove Kenyon, A. M., who was for several years presi- 
dent of the faculty of Alfred University, and who devoted the 
last years of his earth life to its fostering care. He was born in 
Richmond, R. I,, Oct. 23, 1812, of poor and humble parentage. 
At the age of five years he was bound out to a guardian, from 
whom " he experienced the severity and ungraciousness not un- 
frequently attaching to the life of a ward." When old enough 
he was hired out to neighboring farmers during the summer, 
and in the winter he attended district school, doing chores 
night and morning, and working one day in the week for his 
board. At the early age of fourteen he united by baptism with 
the First Church of Hopkinton,and the three following winters 
were spent in the families of deacons Daniel Lewis and John 
Langworthy, whose high social, refining and elevating influ- 
ences awakened in him noble aspirations. During this time he 
attended school, and when at work on the farm he kept a book 
handy, that all odd spells might be improved. His work was 
driven with a view to gain time for his studies, and he read and 
studied by fire light when no better was at hand. When he was 
about nineteen years of age he bought his time of bis guardian, 
giving his note, which he subsequenty paid, principal and 
interest, with money earned by teaching at the institution with 
which he was afterward so prominently connected. He learned 
the trade of a machinist, and while working with the lathe and 
file did much of his studying, reciting with classes in a school 
known as the Lyceum. In the summer of 1836 he entered 
Union College, having gone over only about half the studies 
usually required for entering, a fact which necessitated very 
hard work to enable him to keep up with his classes. The 
winter of 1836-7 he spent at the " Novelty Works" of New 
York city, and during this time he nearly kept up with his 
college studies. One vacation and a part of a term he taught 
district school, and another term was nearly lost by his having 
the small-pox. Dr. Nott, President of Union College, becoming 
deeply interested in him, cheered him on and solicited aid for

him from the American Education Society ; but it was refused on 
the ground that he, being a Seven th-*Day Baptist, was not 
orthodox. The Hopkinton Sewing Society and another local 
society aided him somewhat, and he paid back the money re- 
ceived from them after he began teaching, " testifying "that 
their manifestation of conficfence in him was worth as much as 
the money, giving him new inspiration to press forward." In 
the spring of 1839, Rev. James R. Irish, who was his room-mate 
while in college, and who was then principal of the school in 
Alfred Center, procured the appointment of Mr. Kenyon as his 
successor. The latter entered upon the duties of his office, ex- 
pecting to remain only two or three years at most; for in pre- 
paring for' the ministry he intended to devote his life to mis- 
sionary work in foreign fields. But here, in a field compara- 
tively unoccupied by institutions of learning, he saw a mission 
worthy of his efibrts, and he soon became interested in educa- 
tional projects, to the success and perpetuation of which his 
whole future life was devoted. We have not the space to detail 
the arduous labors involved in his efforts to awaken that inter- 
est which was the germ of Alfred University, nor the unflagging 
energy with which he pushed his beneficent plans through 
periods of despondency and grave financial embarrassments to 
so grand a culmination. To-day that institution stands as a 
monument to his unremitting toil and self-sacrifice, and his 
memory is enshrined in the hearts of hundreds who have and 
are yet to reap the benefit of his labors. In addition to the 
preparation demanded by his daily duties in school, he prose- 
cuted his college studies, frequently working most of the night, 
and in due time received thi degree of Master of Arts. In the 
fall of 1841 he was appointed Superintendent of Common 
Schools for this county. He spent the winter and part of the 
following summer in the discharge of the duties of his office, 
Elder Irish taking his place temporarily as Principal of the 
school. 

From a Me^norial Address delivered by Prof. Jonathan Allen, 
by appointment of the Trustees of Alfred University, to which 
we are indebted for the foregoing particulars relative to Mr. 
Kenyon, we extract the following description of him : — 

" One of those slender, compact, nervous, magnetic men — a man very 
earnest, very incisive, somewhat radical, even eccentric, if you please, 
yet very genuine — the tirst sight of him, on his arrivel here to take charge 
of the school, stirred one young life to the core. The first address that 
we heard him deliver roused and thrilled us as no other, and we worked 
for days in a dream; and his teaching was suggestive, electric, inspir- 
ing. We students in those early days, in our little gatherings, voted him, 
save in a few points, the greatest m;in living. His whole being appeared 
to our youthful eyes condensed, intensified, spiritual energy, with strange 



36 ALFRED. 

facinating power. As the chemists assert that each drop of water contains 
electricity enough to produce, when set free, a small thunderbolt, so he 
appeared to our youthful imaginations as possessing in each minutest 
globule of his blood, life-force sufficient to electrify and stir into action 
any nature however dormant. The chief excellency of a teacher does not 
consist in the number of facts he may store away in the minds of his pu- 
pils, but in awakening their individual powers to independent action, in 
dispelling stupidity, drowsiness, quickening them into vitality, fervor, 
kindling aspiration, spurring on to self-improvement, high endeavor, thus 
leading on to noble achievement. President Kenyon sometimes said that 
the noblest inscription which he could have for his tombstone, would be, 
that he had been good at drill, and secured mental concentration, steady- 
ness of mental nerve and eye, steadfastness of purpose, le.iding to an ap- 
preciation of the infinite importance of life's opportunities and responsi- 
bilities." 

"On the 5th day of August, 1840, he married Miss Melissa 
B, Ward, whose life thenceforward was inseparably interwoven 
with the life of the Institution, and who, like her husband, gave 
all, even to the offering of life itself, for its welfare." In 1857, 
when the University charter was granted, he was appointed 
President, an office he held till 1865, when he spent a few 
months in Missouri, having married in September of the pre- 
vious year Mrs. Ida S. Long. He soon resumed his duties 
in the University, "and though offered one of the most 
lucrative and tempting educational positions in the gift 
of the State, he steadfastly held to his purpose to devote 
a complete life-service to the cause of education in Alfred. 
Illness, however, soon compelled him to again seek medi- 
cal aid, rest, and foreign travel." He spent the summer of 
1866 at Dr. Taylor's "Swedish Movement Cure," in New York 
city, and by October he was so far restored as to be able to sail 
for Europe, where he spent the winter with his wife's friends in 
Prussia. "In early spring, President and Mrs. Kenyon had 
started from Forste, in Prussia, for the Orient, intending to 
take steamer at Trieste directly for Alexandria ; thence, after 
traveling through portions of Egypt, to go to Palestine. But 
soon after starting they were compelled, on occount of his ill 
health, to turn aside to Geneva, in Switzerland, spending four 
weeks there; but as he was getting weaker from week to week, 
they turned their faces homeward, stopping a few weeks at Paris, 
thence to London on the 2d of May." His health failed rapidly, 
but such was his intense desire to reach home, that his home 
passage had been paid, trunks packed, and a man engaged to 
take him to the ship. He died on the morning of June 7, 
1867, and his funeral took place on the 11th, at Abney Park 
Cemetery, near London, 

The first marriage in town was contracted by Luke Maxson 
and Susan Green. The first birth was that of Rebecca Stillman,

Nov. 4, 1808; and the first death, that of Charles H. Clark, who 
accidentally shot himself while wiping his gun after a day's 
hunt. Ephraim S. and Lodwick Davis built the first saw mill 
in 1821, and the first grist mill iu 1824. 

Tbe First Seventh Day Baptist Church of Alfred, at Alfred Center, the 
first church formed in the town, was organized with about six members, 
by Elders Wm. Satterlee and Henry Clark, in 1816. Their first house 
of worship was erected in 1831; and the present one, which will seat 700 
persons, in 1855, at a cost of |6,000. The first pastors were Elders Daniel 
Babcock and liictiard Hull. The Society numbers 451 members, who are 
under the pastoral care of Rev. N. V. Hull, our informant. The Church 
]iio])erty is valued at $10,000. 

The Second Seienth Day Baptist Chvrch of Alfred, at Alfred village, was 
organized 'with about thirty-six members, by members from the First 
Church, in 1831. The first church edifice was erected about 1836; and the 
present one, which will seat 300 persons, in 1858, at a cost of $3,300, tbe 
present value of Church property. The first pastor was Rev. Elay Green; 
the preseat one is liev. L. R. Swianey, our informant. There are 197 
members. % 

ALLEN was formed from Angelica, Jan. 31, 1823. Apart 
of Birdsall was taken off May 4, 1829. The first town meeting 
was held April 1, 1823, and the following named officers were 
elected:— James Wilson, Supervisor; Jeremiah Fuller, Towtt 
Clerk; Nathan Overton, John Mahan and Henry Cummings, 
Assessors ; Chester Eotch, Collector ; Chester Rotch, Calvin Cole, 
Jacob Biass and Freem Scott, Constables; Jonathan Walker and 
Damon Bryant, Overseers of the Poor ; Chester Rotch, Calvin 
Cola and Rial Thompson, Commissioners of Highways; Ma- 
nasseh French, Sylvester Rounds and John P. Van Allen, Com- 
missioners of Common Schools; Levi S. Littlejohu and Silas 
Littlejohn, /«s/>ectors of Common Schools; Levi Littlejohn and 
Jeremiah Fuller, Justices of the Peace. 

It is an interior town, lying north of the center of the county, 
and contains 22,764 acres. The surface is a hilly upland, 
divided into ridges by the valleys of the streams, above which 
the highest summits rise 500 to 700 feet. It is drained by the 
head waters of Plumb Creek, which flows to the north, and 
those of Bakers and Wigwam creeks, which flow to the south. 
The soil upon the uplands is clay underlaid by hardpan, and in 
the valleys a gravelly loam and alluvium. It is best adapted 
to grajiing, and dairying is the chief pursuit of the farmers. 
This is an agricultural town, there being no village in it. There 
are several churches, but neither hotel nor store, and only one 
blacksmith shop. There is neither minister, doctor nor lawyer 
in the town. 

The population in 1870 was 794, all of whom, except 91, 
weie native, and all, e.'^cept seven, white.

Allen (p. o.) is situated in the east part. 

Settlement was commenced about 1806, by James Wilson, 
who emigrated from Ireland in 1804. He lived a short time at 
Geneva and about a year at Angelica, coming thence to this 
town. He took up a farm on Bakers Creek, on which he lived 
till his death. He was the first Supervisor in the town. His 
son, Col. Wm. Wilson, who was born Jan. 30, 1810, was prob- 
ably the first child born in town. Robert Barr settled in the 
south part, on Bakers Creek, shortly after Mr. Wilson, and a 
little later came Archibald Taylor, who located in the south- 
east part, on lot 54. He came from Ireland, but lived a short 
time in New York city before coming here. Robert McBride 
also settled about the same time in the eastern part. Improve- 
ments progressed but alowly during the early years of settle- 
ment and few additions were made to the number of settlers. 
The Peavys (Neheniiah, John, Ichabod, Isaac, Joseph and 
Joshua,) settled on what is known as the Peavy road, in the 
south-west part of the town, about 1815; and the families of 
McCoon and Teller were settlers of an early day. Friend, 
Hiram, Simon and Wm., and their father Eleazer Scott came 
from the town of Watertown, Litchfield Co., Conn., and settled 
in the eastern part of the town in 1816. Erastus Walker, from 
Vermont, came with a wagon and span of horses the following 
year and took up a farm in the southern part, on lot 62, where 
he spent the remainder of his life. Chester Rotch and 
two others named Otto and Lefever settled at the center about 
this year (1817 ;) and a widow named Armstrong settled in the 
southern part about the same time. She came from Angelica, 
and in 1827 opened the first hotel kept in the town. It was 
located near the south line. George Glover, from Ontario Co., 
settled in the south-west part about 1820. Daniel Baldwin settled 
on the farm that Otto took up about 1820 or '2L Joseph Jeu- 
i^ings, from Bristol Co., Mass., settled in the southern part, on 
the farm now occupied by his son, in December, 1822, and con- 
tinued to reside there till his death. Robert, Joseph and Jona- 
than Walker, from the same State, settled in the east part the 
same year. Martin Miner, from Norfolk, Connecticut, and 
Asher Miner settled in 1824, the former a little east of the 
center, and the latter in the south-west part. Asher Miner 
built the first saw mill on Wigwam Creek, in 1825; but the 
first one in the town was erected by Moses Treat, on Bakers 
Creek, about 1820. James and Samuel Willison, brothers; and

their mother and three sisters, came from Genoa, Cayuga Co., 
and settled in the western part in 1826. The Willisons located 
on lot 48. Joshna Smith, also from Cayuga Co., settled in th'e 
western part about the same year. He took up a farm upon 
which he spent the rest of his life. There was then scarcely a 
road in the western part of the town. Andrew Clark, from 
Sullivan Co., settled a little north of the center in 1827. About 
1827 Abram Post moved in from Angelica, where he had lived 
from the time he was a year old, and settled in the south-east 
part, on the farm he still occupies. John and Ruel Hooker, 
brothers, from the same town, settled about the same year west 
of the center. Ege Pierson settled north of the center in this 
or a previous year. Henry Burt, from Springfield, Mass., 
Thomas Cole and Robert K. King, from Steuben Co., and Jerred 
Atwater, Uriah Cook and Solomon Woodworth, from Cato, 
Cayuga Co., settled in the town in 1828; Burt, near the 
central part, on lot 35; Cole, in the western part, on lot 33, on 
the 2d of May ; King, who came from the town of Pultney, in 
the western part, on a farm near where he now lives; and the 
latter three in the western part, Atwater on lot 34, and Wood- 
worth on lot 18. Austin Manley and Henry Light, from Cayuga 
Co., settled in the south-west part about 1828. Conrad 
Benjamin, from Sandisfield, Berkshire Co., Mass., settled a little 
east of the center in 1829, and remained there about six months, 
when he moved to the north-east part and took np the farm on 
which he now lives. James Crandall, from Trumansburgh, 
Tompkins Co., settled at the center in 1832. The first store in 
town was kept by a man named Merrick, at Allen Center. The 
tirst school was taught near the south line, in 1820. 

The first religious services were conducted by Rev. Robert Hubbard, a 
Presbyterian, in 1821; and the first Church was formed by the Presby- 
terians in 1830. 

The M. E. Gliurcli of Alkn, at Allen Center, was organized with about 
fifteen members, about 1844; and the church edifice, which will seat 300 
persons, was erected about 1849, at a cost of about $1500. There are nine 
members. The pastor is Rev. S. D. Picket. The Church properly is 
valued at about $600. [Information furnished by Mr. Joseph H. Rutkerford. 

The First Baptist Church of Allen, in the south-west part of the town, 
was organized about 1847; and the church edifice, which will seat 250 
persons, was erected in 1858. There are about fifty members, but the 
Church is without a pastor. The estimated value of the Church property 
is $4,000. [Information furnislied by Mr. Abel Webstei\ 

The Second M. E. Church of Allen, in the south-west part of the town, 
was organized with about sixteen members, the present number, by Rev. 
Wm. Bradley, the first pastor, about 1848; and tlie church edifice, which 
will seat 200 persons, was erected in 1862, at a cost of about $700. The 
present pastor is Rev. L. S. Crittenden. The Church property is valued 
at $900. [Information furnished by Mr. I. L. Fisk.

St. Paul's LutJieran Church, at Allen Center, was organized with four- 
teen membej'S, by Rev. C. Engeler, the first pastor, in 1868. Their house 
of worship was given them by the Presbyterians the same year. It wiil 
seat 100 persons, and cost $500, its present value. The Society numbers 
sixteen, and is under the pastoral care of Rev. R. Garan. [Informatmi

The town lies upon the center of the south border of the 
county, and contains 23,349 acres. The surface is very rough 
and hilly, the declivities of the hills being mostly too steep for 
profitable cultivation. At various places outcroppings of sand- 
stone appear. Near the center and near the highest point in 
the town is a rough tract of sandstone rock covering 100 to 200 
acres. The surface is covered with moss, on which the timber 
has grown. Near the center of this tract is an elevation of ten 
to fifteen feet, covering about an acre, and composed mostly of 
huge blocks of sandstone, which is destitute of vegetation, with 
the exception of a few shrubs and stunted trees. Honeoye 
Creek and its branches, flowing in deep, narrow ravines, form 
the principal drainage. The soil upon the uplands is a clayey 
and sandy loam, and in the valleys a gravelly loam and allu- 
vium. Much of the town is yet covered with forests, and lum- 
bering is the chief pursuit of the people. Agriculture has 
gained a foothold in the valleys and in a section known as the 
" Niles Hill district," where some well improved farms are 
seen. The supply of pine is well nigh exhausted. 

The population of the town in 1870 was 766 ; of whom 665 
were native, 101, foreign, 741, white and 25, colored. 

Shongo (Alma p. o.) (formerly known as Honeoye) is situated 
in the south-west corner of the town, on Honeoye Creek, and 
contains a hotel, store, blacksmith shop, saw and shingle mill, 
ten dwellings, and about forty inhabitants. 

PiKEViLLE (named from a Mr. Pike, who erected the saw 
mills there,) was once a thriving lumbering village, but, since

the burning of the saw and shingle mills located there, has gone 
to decay. 

Settlement was begun in 1833, by Warren Hough, from 
Quebec, Canada, who located in the south part. A man named 
Longcore settled on lot 20, about the same time, or a little 
later. Azor Hurlbutt was born in Connecticut, Jan. 27, 1804, 
and removed with his father to Otsego Co., when only three 
years old. He removed thence to Alma in 1834, and settled on 
lot 26. When he came there was only a foot path east toward 
the Genesee, a sled path toward Honeoye Corners, and a road 
underbrushed toward Pikevifle. He has held the office of 
Justice <5f the Peace for about thirty years, the last sixteen in 
succession. He still lives where he first settled. He built and 
opened the first hotel in. Alma, in 1837. His daughter, Eme- 
line, who was born Sept. 1, 1836, was the first child born in the 
town. Samuel B. Stebbins, a native of Otsego Co., removed 
thence in the fore part of July, 1836, and settled on lot 30. 
When he came, he says, there were but five others living in the 
south part of the town. They were, in addition to Hurlbutt 
and Hough, Wm. Smith and two others named Harding and 
Hunter. He has since lived in the same place. Mr. Stebbins 
relates that his daughters, Achsa Ann and Phebe, aged respect- 
ively twelve and eight years, killed a wolf about the year 1846. 
While he was away from home the children saw in a clearing 
back of the house, an animal which they supposed to be a fox, 
but which proved to be a wolf, young and very poor. They set 
the dog on him, but he did not run till the latter reached him 
and worried him some. The dog followed close, snapping at 
his heels at every opportunity. The wolf soon took refuge 
under the roots of a fallen tree, but the aperture was too small 
to fully conceal him or to admit of his turning round in it. 
The girls followed and saw that they could reach his hind legs, 
and one of them pulled him out while the other stood ready to 
despatch him. Myron Allen settled in the north-west part, on 
lot 1, in 1839. Jared Emerson settled in the town in 1840. 
Wm. Andrus, from Steuben Co., settled on lot 22 in the spring 
of 1843, and, with the exception of two years, has since lived 
on the same place. Joseph Smith moved in from Michigan in 
]849, and settled in the north part, on lot 114. Timothy 
Nobles removed from Urbana, Steuben Co., to the town of 
Burns, in 1833 ; three years later to Grove ; and thence, in 1856, 
to his present residence in this town. Captain Elisha Mix 
was an early settler in the town, but in what year we are not 
advised. He came from Potter Co., Pa., and settled on lot 47, 
where he died in 1859. His step-son, George E. Adams, came 
with him, and still lives in the town. The first death in the 



42 ALMA— ALMOND. 

town was that of John Baglej, in 1838. The first school was 
taught by Clarinda Kent, in 1839. The first store was kept by 
Samuel J. Peet, in 1844. The first saw mill was erected by 
John W. Post, in 1843. 

The first religious services were conducted by Rev. Reuben Kent, in 
1838; and the first religious association was formed by the Methodists in 
1850. 

The ^^ Seventh Day Adventinf' Chvrch, situated on Niles Hill, was 
organized with thirty-two ciembers, by Rev. N. j^uller, August 10, 1862, 
in which year was erected, at a cost of $900, their house of worship, 
which will seat 200 persons. The Society consists of forty-nine members; 
and its property is valued at $1,000. " This denomination never locates 
pastors at any stated place." [^Information furnished by Mr. D. G. Phillips. 

ALMOND was formed from Alfred, March 16, 1821. A 
part of Birdsall was taken ojQF May 4, 1829, and a part of West 
Almond, April 15, 1833. It lies upon the east border of the 
county, north of the center, and contains 27,374 acres. The 
surface is hilly and is separated into several distinct ridges by 
the deep valleys of Canisteo Eiver and Karr Valley, McHenry 
Valley and Whitney Valley creeks, which are the principal 
streams,-and flow in an easterly direction. The highest sum- 
mits are 500 to 800 feet above the valleys. Sulphur springs 
and quarries of good building stone are found in various local- 
ities. The soil is a gravelly and clayey loam, well adapted to 
grazing. Dairying and stock raising are the chief pursuits of 
the farmers. 

The Erie Eailroad crosses the south-east corner of the town. 

The population of the town in 1870 was 1686 ; of whom 1642 
were native, 44, foreign and all, except eight, white. 

Almond, (p. v.) situated in the south-east part of the town, 
on Karr Valley Creek, and adjacent to the Erie R. R., contains 
three churches, (M. E., Baptist and Presb.) seven stores of 
various kinds, two hotels, a boot and shoe manufactory, a wheel 
horse rake manufactory, three grist mills, two harness shops, two 
wagon shops, two paint shops, four blacksmith shops and about 
500 inhabitants. The village lies upon the line of Steuben 
Co., a small portion of the northern part projecting into that 
county. 

North Almond Valley, (p. o.) situated on Canisteo River, 
in the north-east part, is a hamlet. 

Settlement was commenced in the spring of 1796, by Rev. 
Andrew Gray and Wm. Cray, the former of whom located in 
the western part of the town, on Karr Valley Creek, and the 
latter in the south-west part, on McHenry Valley Creek. They 
were followed a few days later by Joseph A. Rathbun, who came 



ALMOND. 43 

with his family, consistii)g of his wife, (Priscilla) daughter 
(Martha) and two sons, (Lazarus S. and John,) and settled on 
a farm adjoining that of Andrew Gray on the west. Kathbun 
taught the first school in town, in a log school house on the 
hill south of Karr Valley, in December, 1802. The building 
was covered with bark. The seats consisted of basswood planks 
split from the logs, hewed and laid upon blocks of wood, and 
were without backs. Benjamin Vandemark, Matthew Mc- 
Henry and Joseph Coleman, settled in the town the same year, 
the former in the south-west part, in McHenry Valley, and the 
latter two in the western part, in Karr Valley. All six came 
from Pennsylvania, the Grays, Rathbun (the latter formerly 
from Conn.) and Vandemark from Luzerne Co. Lazarus 8. 
Rathbun, son of Joseph A. Rathbun, is still living on the farm 
his father took up. He was about six years of age when his 
father came, and is the only one of the first settlers now living. 
He affirms that he never went to school more than about three 
months in his life. He learned to write by the fire-place, 
with a pointed stick. At an early day he had made such 
progress in learning as fitted him for teaching. Later he be- 
came a justice of the peace, an office he held for many years; 
was one of the first supervisors of the town ; and in 1824 and 
'25 he was a memberof the State Legislature. Henry McHenry, 
brother of Matthew McHenry, who was also from Luzerne Co., 
Pa., settled in the McHenry Valley in 1797. His son, Wm., 
who was born in 1799, was the first white child born in the 
town. Obediah Ayers settled in the McHenry Valley about the 
same time that Henry McHenry did. He came from near 
Wilkesbarre, Pa. Major Moses Van Campen and his brother 
Benjamin came from near Nanticoke, Pa., in 1797, or about that 
year. Moses settled in the McHenry Valley and Benjamin in 
"the Karr Valley. Moses Van Campen accompanied Judge 
Philip Church, late of Belvidere, on an exploring expedition to 
the Church Tract, in 1801, as previously stated, and in 1805 
removed to the town of Angelica. 

We extract from Stone's History of Wyoming the following 
allusion to Van Campen at a time prior to his settlement in 
this county : — 

"Among the names most intimately connected with the history of 
Wyoming during the period under review, is that of Moses Van Campen. 
Major Van Campen, — for such was his legitimate title in the service before 
the close of the contest, — first served as a private in the year 1777, upon 
Grand Island, situated in the west branch of the Susquehanna. In the 
following year he was commissioned a lieutenant, and stationed in the 
valley of the Susquehanna, between Northumberland and Wyoming, 
where he erected a small fort for the protection of the scattered settlers of 
the neighborhood, the inhabitants of which in seasons of alarm took 



44 ALMOND. 

refuge within its walls. Before his little defence had been completed, it 

was gallantly and saccessfull}'' defended against two successive attaclis by 
strong bodies of Indians, whose tomahawks were nevertheless bathed in 
the blood of several families upon that section of the border. 

" When, in the year 1779, General Sullivan ascended the Susquehanna 
and Chemung rivers in his march into the Indian country to avenge tlie 
butcheries of Wyoming and Cherry Valley, lieutenant Van Campen was 
advanced to the post of quarter-master; but being a man of approved 
courage and activity, well skilled in the subtleties of Indian warfare, his 
duties were by no means contined to the commissariat. Previous to ti)e 
battle of Newtown, in which the Indians under Brant, and the American 
loyalists of Sir John Johnson and Col. John Butler were signally defeated 
by the united forces of Sullivan and Clinton, Major Van Campen was sent 
forward, under the disguise of an Indian warrior, — dressed, painted and 
plumed, — to ascertain the numbers and condition of the enemy, — a task 
which he executed with complete success. Passing their outposts in the 
night, he entered their camp, visited their fires, and computed, with suffi- 
cient accuracy, the number of the warriors slumbering around them. In 
the attack upon a division of the enemy, preceding the main battle, by the 
brigade of General Hand, Major Van Campen was in the advance, con- 
tributing actively to the success of that brilliant affair, 

"At the close of Sullivan's campaign, a severe attack of billions fever 
compelled Major Van Campen to retire from the service, and return to 
tbe residence of his father, in the vicinity of his former station below 
Wyoming, upon the Susquehanna. The savages had been so effectually 
subdued by the operations of Sullivan, that apprehensions of farther out- 
rages upon the border were measurably allayed, and the scattered inhabit- 
ants were preparing to resume their field labors in the spring of the fol- 
lowing year with comparative unconcern. Toward the close of March, 
Major Van Campen left the fort with his father and a brother, to woik 
upon the farm, accompanied also by an uncle and his son, a lad of twelve 
years of age, and a man named Peter Pence — the uncle having a farm to 
attend in the same vicinity. 

"Suddenly, on the 30th of March, while in the field, the Major and his 
father were attacked by a party of ten Indians, who stole so warily upon 
them that flight was impossible. The uncle had already been killed upon 
his own plantation ; the lad and Pence being now in company, bound 
prisoners. The Major's father was thrust through the lungs in the fiist 
onset, and his throat instantly cut. The lad, his brother, was likewise 
struck down with a toLnahawk, scalped, and his body cast into a fii'e blaz- 
ing near by. As the warrior who had slain the elder Van Campen drew 
the spear from his body, he made a lunge at the Major, already engaged 
apparently in a death struggle with another Indian; but not poising his 
weapon with skill, a slight flesh wound only was inflicted, while tlie bar b 
became entangled in the clothes of the intended victim. Sated, for the 
time, with blood, after a brief struggle the savages contented themselves 
with making the Major a prisoner, and with his youthful cousin, and the 
man Pence, he was marched away in the direction of the 'Six Nations' 
country. * * * Encamping at night, after building their fires, 
the prisoners were bound and well secured, the Indians sleeping five 
upon either side of them. On the second day of their march, while yet 
in the Wyoming region, they found one Abraham Pike, with his wife and 
child. Placing the mark of prisoners upon the latter two, they were 
sufl'ered to ' go' ; but Pike was taken away, and at night they were all bound 
and guarded as before. Reflecting that they had probably been spared 



ALMOND. 45 



by tbeir captors lo grace a war feast on returning to their villages, in the 
course of which they would be put to denth by torture, Van Campeu 
began now to meditate an escape — a feat, he was well aware, only to be 
a(;l)ieved by putting the Indians to death. The daring suggestion was 
<;auiioual3'' imparted to his fellow prisoners on the third day of their cap- 
tivily; but it was not until the fourth that a reluctant assent was obtained 
from bis associaies. Pence and Pike — the lad being too young for a com- 
batant. The sleep of the Indians, it is well known, is very deep aud 
heavy; and Van Campen's proposal was that on the next night, after wait- 
ing unlil their grim guardians were in a profound slumber, they should 
contrive to extricate themselves in some way from the cords with which 
1 bey were bound, and in the next place cautiously disarm the Indians. 
Tb's eSected, Van Campen intended that himself, Pence and Pike, armed 
wiiti (omajiawks, should eacb, by as many blows, dispatch three of the 
sleepers before any of them should have time to arouse for resistance. 
Nine of them being thus disposed of and the tenth unarmed, the three 
coukl have nothing serious to apprehend from him. 

•'But although the project was obviously well conceived, neither Pence 
nor Pike would agree to the details beyond the disarming. Tbat object 
allaioed they proposed that one of their number should be stationed with 
tiie tiiearms of the Indians, to be removed a few paces from the camp, 
wbich should be used with the best possible effect, while the other two 
were to attack with tomahawks, and ply them as briskly and fatally as 
possible during the confusion which would ensue on the first discharge of 
a musket. In this hazardous deviation from his plan Van Campen was 
obliged to acquiesce; and the duty of firing the muskets, from a point of 
comparative safety, was assigned to Pence. 

"Encamping as usual at dark, the Indians were remarkably diligent 
and attentive in providing an abundance of fuel for the night; and a roar- 
ing fire having been built, they all lay down to sleep— the prisoners being 
carefully bound as before. Providence, however, favored the design of 
escape, for one of the Indians, while adjusting himself for Ihe night, 
dropped his knife, without perceiving it, close by Van Campen's feet. Of 
course the latter failed not to avail himself of this important weapon; and 
at midnight, perceiving that the wairiors were all in a profound slumber, 
tbe Major arose, and*with the knife quietly severed the cords upon his 
own limbs and those of his fellow-prisoners. He was himself to strike 
the three Indians upon the right wing, and Pike the two upon the left, 
while Pence should do such execution as he could with the guns. Just as 
they were about to strike, the two warriors allotted to Pike awoke; where- 
upon, like a coward, as he proved to be, he again laid down in his place, 
as though all was well. Not so Van Campen, who saw that in an instant 
more all would be lost. Quick as lightning, therefore, he darted upon the 
two awaking savages, and planting his tomahawk deep into their heads, 
left them quivering in death. Three more blows, equally well directed, 
wiUi the rapidity of thought, ended the lives of the three as allotted to 
him at first. Pence fired at the same instant, with wonderful judgment 
and accuracy— killing four of the remaining five. One only was left— a 
stalwart savage named Mohawk, who sprang to his feet with the discharge 
of tbe guns, and uttering the war-whoop darted to take possession of them. 
Van Campen sprang after him to defeat his purpose, aiming a blow at his 
head with a tomahawk, but missing, struck him in the shoulder, or rather 
in the back of his neck. The Indian pitched forward and fell. Van 
Campen's foot slipping at the same instant, he also fell by his side._ Tbey 
clIiiQbed, and a struggle of several moments ensued, during which the 
Major endeavored to dispatch him with his own knife. Mohawk, how- 



46 ALMOND. 

ever, succeeded in disengaging himself, and springing to his feet, plunged 
into the woods and fled. The transaction was one of surprising bravery, 
— of darkness and of blood. Yet it was not unrelieved by an incident, or 
rather side-act, of a ludicrous character; for while Van Campen and Mo- 
hawk lay struggling, grasped in each other's arms upon the ground as in 
the hug of death, Pike was attempting to pray, and Pence stood swearing 
at him for his cowardice. 

" The victory, however, was complete. Nine of the ten warriors lay 
before them dead; and it only remainded for the victors to secure the 
spoils, and wend their way back to Wyoming before Mohawk should be 
able to return upon them with reinforcements. Having secured the 
arms, blankets, and supplies of the dead, taken their scalps, and recovered 
also those of his father, his uncle, and his brother. Van Campen caused a 
rude raft to be constructed— for the brave action I have recorded occurred 
upon the bank of the Susquehanna not far from Tioga — upon which he 
embarked with his little party, and in due season they all reached their 
homes in safety. * * * 

" The Indian, Mohawk, recovered from his wound, and in process of 
time, by the removal of Van Campen to the neighborhood of his village, 
they became acquainted. The effect of the wound was such as to contract, 
or perhaps to destroy, some of the muscles of Mohawk's neck, by reason 
of Which he could never carry his head erect afterward. He was for a 
time shy of seeing Major Van Campen; but finding that the latter cher- 
ished no hostility toward him, he subsequently became his frequent 
visitor." 

Asking the reader's indulgence for this diversion, we resume 
our history of the early settlements. Philip Dodderer settled 
in the western part of the town, in Karr Valley, about 1797 or 
'98. He came from the same place as the McHenry's. Enos 
Seaward settled in the south-east part, in Whitney Valley, about 
1798 or '9. Eoswell, Micah and David Haskins settled in the 
same locality about the same time. Joseph and Walter Karr, 
brothers, and Stephen Major, their brother-in-law, came in from 
Luzerne Co., Pa., in June, 1800, and took up adjacent farms in 
Karr Valley, a little south of the center of the town. They 
jointly cleared about six acres on Joseph's farm, on which they 
sowed wheat in the fall, and put up a log house, when theKarrs 
returned to their former home, where they remained till spring, 
leaving Major and his wife in the log house during the winter. 
The following spring they returned to their new homes in 
Almond with their families, accompanied by George Lockhart, 
from the same county, who also located in Karr Valley. 
Lockhart was a single man; but he married the daughter of 
Major Moses Van Campen about 1807, and settled in 1808 on 
the farm he took up three years previously, and on which he 
spent the rest of his life. Solomon Doud was the first settler 
in the " North Valley." He probably came about the beginning 
of the present century. Miles and Jeremiah Oakley and Joseph 
Baldwin settled in the same locality not far from 1800. Other 
early settlers in the North Valley were Calkins, Milo and Tru- 



ALMOND. 47 

man Hayes, sons of B. Hayes, Elihu Knight, Wheeler Hinman, 
Ardon Cobb, John Bunnell, John Brown, Lemuel Granger, 
Bartlett Dake, Lewis Moffit, Lawrence Clark, Alex., Solomon 
and Benj. Head and a family named Miles, Phineas Stevens 
was thejSrst settler in the village of Almond. He came from 
Rome, Oneida Co., about 1804. Tarball Whitney, from Hunt- 
ington township, Luzerne Co., Pa., came in June, 1806, and 
settled in the south-east part of the town, on the farm now occu- 
pied by one of his sons, where he lived the rest of his life. Silas 
j Stillman settled in the south-east part about 1809. He was 
from Rensselaer Co., and had previously lived about two years 
in the to^V^ of Alfred, whence he removed to this town. Asa 
Clark, an early settler at Almond village, built the first grist 
mill in town, in the southern part of that village, in 1818. It 
stood on the site of Halsey's mill. Silas and Joseph C. Ferry 
were early settlers in Karr Valley — near the beginning of the 
present century. John Van Vechten, from Montgomery Co., 
settled in the eastern part of the town in 18\6 ; and Jerry, his 
brother, from the same county, settled in the same locality in 
1820. The first marriage in town was that of Peter Putnam 
and Polly Waters, in 1801. The first death was that of Matthew 
McHenry, son of Matthew McHenry, in 1801. The first inn 
was kept in Karr Valley, in 1805, by Benjamin Van Campen. 
The first saw mill was built at the north end of Almond village, 
by Milo Stevens. The first store was kept in the southern part 
of the same village, by Wm. R. Rodgers & Co., about 1830. 
The first framed house was built by Rev. Andrew Gray on the 
farm he took up. Dr. Davison was the first settled physician 
and the first postmaster in town. The ofiice was established 
in 1813 or '14, and was located in the northern part of Almond 
village. 

The first religious services were conducted at Karr Valley, by Rev. 
Andrew Gray, a clergyman of the Reformed Dutch Church, at his own 
house, May 1, 1797; and the first Church, of the same denomination, was 
organized by him the same year. Mr. Gray officiated as clergyman for 
several years; and during his pastorate the Church enjoyed a good degree 
of prosperity; but after his removal it ''fell into decay, and in a short 
time became extinct." Mr. Gray also ministered to the neighboring settle- 
ments. He was described by Judge Philip Church as " a broad-shouldered 
man, of extraordinary muscular power." The Judge said, "I remember 
his getting so earnest on one occasion, [while preaching at Angelica,] in 
enforcing religious precepts upon his backwoods congregation, that in his 
gestures he knocked our store desli to pieces, that we gave him for a 
pulpit."* 

The First Presbyterian Church of Almond, at Almond village, was organ- 
ized with twenty-seven members, by Rev. John Niles of Bath; May 5,

1812. It was denominated the Church of Alfred, the name being changed 
to that of Almond on the division of the town. The first church edifice 
was erected in 1815, and was rebuilt in 1834, 1851, and 1873. The present 
house will seat 300 persons. Its original cost was $2,500. The first pastor 
was Rev. Robert Hubbard; the present one is Rev. Joel Wakeman, D. D. 
The Society consists of 145 members. Its property is valued at $8,000. 
[Information obtained frmn HotchMn''s " History of Western New York'''' and 
from Rev. Joel Wakeman, D. D. , the pastor. 

The First Baptist Ghurch of Almond, at Almond village, was orgaoized 
with thirty-four members, in 1826, by Elder Richard Hunt, the first pastor. 
The church edifice, which will seat 500 persons, was erected in 1835. The 
present pastor is Elder Sweeny. {Information furnished by Mr. C. R Brink. 

The First M. E. Church of Almond, at Almond village, was organized as 
early as 1848; for Hotchkin speaks of it in that year as being " small and 
weak" and without an " appropriate house of worship." Their house of 
worship, which will seat 300 persons, was erected in 1863, at a cost of 
$2,200, the present value of Church property. The pastor is Rev. West. 

^MJTFwas formed from Angelica and Scio, Feb. 22, 1830. 
A part of Ward was taken off Nov. 21, 1856. It is an interior 
town, lying a little south of the center of the county, and con- 
tains 21,960 acres. The surface is hilly and broken, the summits 
of the hills rising 500 to 800 feet above the valleys. The Gene- 
see River crosses the town diagonally, through near the central 
part, and receives as tributaries Van Carapens Creek* from the 
west and Philips Creek from the east. The valleys of these 
streams are narrow and are bordered by steep hillsides. The 
soil is principally a clayey and sandy loam. 

The Erie R. R. extends through the town, along the Genesee, 
which it crosses at Philipsville, to Belvidere, where it deflects 
to the west. On the opening of this road through the town in 
1851, Judge Philip Church presented for Belvidere station a 
flag representing an engine drawing a large cannon and sheaves 
of wheat in an open car; an Indian in ambush, with surprised 
look, his bow and arrow apparently falling from his grasp ; and 
a startled deer running away with fright. Beneath this design 
was the following inscription : — 

"BELVIDERE STATION. 

" ENERGY AND SKILL. 

"Where the fierce redman trod his pathless way, 

In search precarious, daily food to slay ; 

Or hid in ambush, sprung upon his foe, 

Striking unseen' the unsuspected blow; 

Now steam, resistless, spreads his fiery wings; 

Where want depresses, wished-for plenty springs; 

Or ponderous weapons to our border dx'aws ; 

Or writes on ocean waves Columbia's laws. 

Boast not proud white man in arts of peace and war, 

Look up to Heaven and see how small you are !"

woods' compaaion, Mr. Van Campen. Pioneer HUtory of Phelps arid Gorharn's Pur- 
chase, p. 454.

The line of the proposed Rochester, Nundaand Pennsylvania 
E. R. enters the north-west eoruer of the town, and connects 
with the Erie road at Belvidere. 

The population of the town in 1870 was 2087 ; of whom 1948 
were native, 139, foreign and all, except five, white. 

Philtpsvjlle, (Belmont p. o.) is situated on the Genesee 
River and the Erie R. R., a little north-west of the center of the 
town. It was incorporated as a village Feb. 21, 1853. The 
population in 1870 was 795. It contains besides the clerk's 
office and court-house, six churches, (Baptist, Presbyterian,

BELvroERE, (p. 0.) situated near the mouth of Van Campens 
Creek and on the Erie R. R., in the north-west corner of the 
town, contains one church, (Episcopal) three stores, two hotels, 
a boarding house, cheese factory, saw and stave mill and two 
wagon and blacksmith shops. 

W. (& J. Duke's saw and stave mill, situated at Belvidere, annu- 
ally manufactures about 200,000 feet of lumber and 600,000 
staves. 

Dean's steam saw, shingle and lath mills, located on Philips 
Creek, cut annually about one million feet of lumber, one and 
one-half million shingles and one-half million lath. 

Settlement was commenced in 1804, by John T. Hyde, who 
located near Belvidere. Stephen Rogers came from Burlington, 
Otsego Co., this same year, and purchased a farm on Genesee 
River, in the south part of ihe- town, which he occupied till 
1873. In this year also was built, upon grounds selected a year 
or two previously, the temporary residence of Judge Philip 
Church, which was known as the " white house," from the fact 
that it was then " the owXy painted structure in Western New 
York." Judge Church selected these grounds, says Turner, in 
his Pioneer History of Phelps and Gorham's Purchase, " by climb- 
ing tall pine trees upon the highlands." They are thus de- 
scribed by a writer in the Angelica Reporter of Jan. 22, 1861 : —

"In this selection he manifested shrewdness and sound judgment. 
Were the selection to be made now, with all the advantages of an open 
country spread out before him, he could not, in any particular, have im- 
proved upon the selection then made. The 2000 acres set aside, is the 
finest land in the whole tract, and the situation of the house is incom- 
parably the finest in the whole country. The wonder is, that he should 
so readily have made such a strikingly favorable selection in the inter- 
minable woods, when the sight was so circumscribed, and when he could 
only form his judgment from a knowledge of the general conformation of 
the country; obtained by personal explorations. This place he named 
' Belvidere.' " 

Judge Philip Church was born in affluent circumstances, 
April 14, 1778. His father was John B. Church of New York, 
who acted as Commissary to the French army during the 
American Revolution under the assumed name of Carter, and 
his mother, Angelica, eldest daughter of Gen. Philip Schuyler. 
In 1781, while his mother was visiting at the residence of Gen. 
Schuyler, near Albany, an attempt was made by a detachment 
of British soldiers to capture that distinguished oflficer. Young 
Philip was sleeping in the cradle, and as his mother seized him 
and bore him away in her arms a wound was inflicted on his 
forehead, the scar of which he often exhibited in after life as 
the first and only' wound he received in the wars. In 1783 his 
father repaired to Paris to adjust some unsettled accounts in 
connection with the Commissary Department, and remained 
there with his family eighteen months, after which he took up 
his residence in England, where, in 1787 he represented the 
borough of Wendover in the House of Commons. Young Philip 
entered Eaton school, where he remained six consecutive years 
and associated with the nobility and gentry of that day. Being 
the eldest son of his father he also enjoyed the raVe privilege of 
listening to the Parliamentary debates, which were participated 
in by such distinguished orators as Fox, Burke, Sheridan and 
the younger Pitt. After leaving Eaton he entered the Middle 
Temple and commenced the study of law. In 1797 he returned 
with his father to America, the latter resuming his residence 
in New York. He resumed his law studies in the office of 
Nathaniel Pendleton, and later in that of his uncle, Gen. Alex. 
Hamilton. On the appointment of the latter to the office of 
Major General and Inspector General of the Provisional Army 
organized in 1798 young Church became his private secretary. 
Jan. 10, 1799, he was commissioned a captain in the 12th 
Infantry, and two days later he received the appointment from 
General Hamilton as his aid-de-camp. But the impending 
difficulties with France, which prompted the organization of 
an army, being happily adjusted, he saw but little service. 
This latter year he visited Canandaigua in the interest of his 
father, to attend the sale under foreclosure of a piece of land

subsequently known as the Church Tract, to which previous 
allusion has been made. He bid the property in and took a 
deed in his own name, dated May 6, 1800, though his father 
was jointly interested with him. From that time his energies 
were directed to the settlement and improvement of the lands 
embraced in his purchase. In July, 1801, he headed an expe- 
d'tion which met by previous appointment at the settlement in 
Almond, and which was organized for the purpose of exploring 
his lands. The next year he sent, his agent and surveyor, 
Evert Van Wickle, to select the site of a village, and begin 
improvements. A spot near the center of the tract 
was designated as the site of a village, which was named 
Angelica, 'after his mother. This year also he visited 
the country and selected his farm and future residence on the 
bank of the Genesee, at Belvidere. Several months of each of 
the two following years were spent by Mr. Church in the per- 
sonal supervision of improvements upon his lauds ; and on the 
14th of July of the latter year (1804) he was admitted to the 
bar, though he practiced his profession only a short time. 
February 4, 1805, Mr, Church married Anna Matilda, eldest 
daughter of Gen. Walter Stewart of Philadelphia, an officer of 
some prominence during the Revolutionary War, and the fol- 
lowing June the pair started for the home — the " white-house" 
— prepared for them in the wilderness. They came by way of 
All)any, Geneva, Bath and Hornellsville, from the latter place 
on horseback, most of the way by a bridle-path through the 
woods, accompanied by Thomas Morris. They lived in the 
" white house" till the completion of their stone mansion in 
1810. Mjr. Church busied himself in the meantime principally 
with the management of his landed estate. In 1805 he pur- 
chased and had drove to Belvidere twenty-four sheep. Arriving 
late at night they were folded close by the house. In the morn- 
ing he invited his brother-in-law, from New York, who was 
then his guest, to see them, when he discovered that the wolves 
had killed nineteen of the number during the night. 

In 1811 Mr. Church visited England, one of .the objects of 
his visit being to learn from personal observation the system of 
English agriculture. He collected several works on that sub- 
ject, which he carefully studied on his return in 1813 ; but, 
owing to the many differences existing between the two coun- 
tries, it is questionable whether much practical good resulted 
therefrom. He, however, conferred a lasting benefit upon the 
country by the introduction of a very superior stock of im- 
ported cattle. The greatest advantage derived from this visit 
is found in the light he obtained and the impulse given to his 
mind on the subject of internal improvements, especially the

railroad system then just beginning to occupy speculative 
minds. He is accredited with originating and pushing to com- 
pletion the Genesee Valley Canal and the Erie R. R., though 
he preferred and advocated the construction of a railroad in 
place of the canal. While in Et)gland he procured and for- 
warded to "New York drawings of the sewers of London, 
together with explanatory documents on that subject; for which, 
on his return, he received a letter of thanks from the Common 
Council of that city. 

"The remainder of his active life after 1813," says a writer in the 
Angelica, Rep&rter for Jan. 22, 1861, to which and to Tamer's Pioneer Bis- 
tort/ of Phelps and Gorham''s Purchase we are largely indebted for the fore- 
going facts relative to Judge Church, " was mostly occupied in the settle- 
ment of his lands, where he pursued an enlightened, liberal and lenient 
policy, and with the co-ordinate subject of Internal Improvements. On 
this latter subject he bestowed all the energies of his mind, and he wrought 
out results, wtiich, had they been commended to the public as proceeding 
from prominent official station, would have given him an extended and 
enduring fame. He worked, as it were, in private, behind the scenes ; 
patiently and laboriously preparing materials, combating prejudices, coq- 
ciliating adverse interest, stirring up and stimulating enterprise; till the 
conceptions of his mind became at length vivified creations, and the 
drama was successfully cast and presented to the public, heralded by the 
horn of the boatmen along the valley of the Genesee, and by the whistle 
of the locomotive from ' New York to Erie.' " 

Mr. Church did not seek political preferment. The only 
office he held was that of First Judge of the County, holding 
the appointment from 1807 to 1821. In politics he was a Fed- 
eralist. He died at his residence of herpes, in January, 1861, 
at the advanced age of eighty-three years. 

Harry Davis, from Oneida Co., but originally from Hamp- 
shire Co., Mass., settled near Philipsville in 1805 and remained 
there till his death. Settlements were made by Wm. Dayton, 
who came from Dutchess Co. about 1818, and settled in the 
south-west part of the town, about three miles west of the river, 
where he remained till his death in 1842; by Wm. Noble, who 
came from Whitehall, Washington Co., in 1824, and resided 
here till his death in 1868; and Henry J. Hoggland and his 
son Hiram, who came from Dryden, Tompkins Co., in 1826, 
and tlie latter of whom still lives near the old homestead. The 
first birth was that of Hannah Hyde, Nov. 4, 1804; the first 
marriage, that of Laomi Asthley and Rachel Baker, in 1807; 
and the first death, that of Harvey Manning, in 1806. The 
first school was taught in 1810, by Polly Baker. The first inn 
was kept in 1809, at Belvidere, by Ebenezer Hyde. The first 
store was kept at Philipsville, by Alvin E. .e*arker, in 1830. 
The first saw mill was built on Genesee River, in 1806, and the 
first grist mill, in 1808, both by Philip Church.

The first religious meeting was held at the house of Samuel Van Cam- 
pen, by Rev. Robert Hubbard, a Presbyterian, in 1814; and the first 
Church was formed by Rev Jonathan Post, a Baptist, in 181(}. 

The Free Methodist Church was organized with five members in 1860, by 
Rev. J. W. Reddy, the first pastor, and the church edifice, which will 
seat 150 persons, was erected in 1861, at a cost of $700. The Society, 
numbering thirty-eight, is under the pastoral care of Rev R. S. Phillips, 
our informant, and its property is valued at $2,000. 

ANDOVER was formed from Independence, Jan. 28, 
1824. A part was re-annexed to Independence the same year, 
and a part of Wellsville was taken off Nov. 22, 1855. The first 
town meeting was held at the house of Luther Strong, March 
2, 1824, -and the following named officers were elected: — 
Thaddeus Baker, Supervisor; Amherst Kingsbury, Town Clerk; 
Caleb Kingsbury, Hazard P. Clark and Luther Strong, Asses- 
sors; Joel Norton, Ichabod Babcock and Horace Mallory, Com- 
missioners of Hi(jhways; Joseph Clark and Caleb Kinsbury, 
Overseers of the Poor; Luther Strong, Barnabas Reid and Asa 
S. Allen, Cormnissioners of Common Schools; Asa S. Allen, Bar- 
nabas Reid and John S. Baker, Inspectors of Common Schools; 
Roswell Adams, Collector; Roswell Adams and Jacob Clark, 
Constables. 

The town lies upon the east border of the county, s )uth of 
the center, and contains 23,756 acres. The surface is very hilly 
and still retains some of the original pine forests. Dykes 
Creek flows west through the central part, receiving several 
small tributaries, the principal of which is Elm Creek. The 
soil is chiefly a heavy loam, resting on hard pan, and is best 
adapted to grazing. The manufacture of pine lumber was for 
many years the leading pursuit, but that has vastly diminished. 
Dairying is the chief branch of agriculture. 

The Erie R. R. enters the town near the center of the north 
line, and runs south to Andover village, where it deflects to the 
west, and leaves it near the center of the west line. 

The population of the town in 1870 was 1873, all of whom 
were white, 1618, native and 255, foreign. 

An"dover (p. v.) is centrally located, on Dykes Creek and on 
the Erie R. R., and is nicely laid out, the streets crossing each 
other at right angles. It contains five churches, a graded 
school, which employs four teachers and has about 200 scholars 
in attendance, twenty stores of various kinds, three hotels, a 
printing office (the Andover Advertiser, a Republican journal, 
established in 1868, and published weekly by E. S. Barnard,) a 
grist mill, tannery, cabinet shop, planing and turning mill, 
three wagon shops, one foundry, five blacksmith shops, a livery 
stable, cheese factory, woolen mill and about 850 inhabitants.

Wm. Richardson d: Co.'s tannery, located in Andover village, 
gives employment to about eighteen persons and tans about 
500 pieces per week. 

Elm Valley (formerly known as Shoemakers Corners) is a 
hamlet situated on Dykes Creek and the Erie K. R., near the 
west line of the town, and contains a wagon shop, painl shop,' 
blacksmith shop and some six houses. 

Settlement was commenced in 1796 by Stephen Cole, who 
came from Tioga Co.. Pa., and located at Elm Valley. He took 
up a farm and lived on it the rest of his life. Daniel Cole, his 
son, who was born Feb. 18. 1797, was the first white child born 
in the town and the first white male child born in the county. 
He remained upon the farm on which he was born till his 
death at the age of a little over seven ty-thi-ee years. James 
Dyke, from Tioga Point, Pa., settled in the same locality and 
about the same time that Cole did, indeed their settlement was 
so nearly contemporaneous that doubts are expressed as to 
which came first. Benjamin Brookings and John T. Hyde, 
fron> Vermont, settled near the same place soon after. Fami- 
lies bv the name of HoUiday, Henderson and Converse were 
also early settlers. Alpheus Baker came with his family from 
Granville, Washington Co., in July, 1807, and stopped tempora- 
rily two miles west of Andover village. He built a log 
house on the site of Andover village, which was the firsc 
erected there, and the following March he moved into it, fie 
was the first settler in that village. Thaddeus Baker, from the 
town of Poultney, Vt., came to the site of Andover village June 
20, 1807, having previously been employed by the Poultney 
estate to survey the towns of Almond and Andover. While 
surveying Andover he took up 400 acres of land on the site of 
the village. Having finished the survey he returned to Ver- 
mont, sold out, and moved here, coming the entire distance 
with an ox team and lumber wagon. He first moved into a 
log house about two miles west of the village, and in the sum- 
mer of 1808 he removed to a new log house he had built on his 
lands in the village. He lived upon this farm the rest of his 
life. He was the first justice of the peace and the first post- 
master in the town. Seth Baker, his brother, came with hira 
from Vermont and settled two miles west of the village. Joseph 
Baker and his wife and seven children and Joseph Woodruff 
and his wife and three children settled in. the town Oct. 15, 
1810; and Reuben Castle and wife, in 1812. Robert Boyd 
moved in from Canandaigua in 1819, and settled in the western 
part, on lot 40. When he came in the nearest store was at 
Hornellsville, and there was only one there. Hazard P. Clark 
came from Brookfield, Madison Co., in 1820, and took up a 



ANDOVER. 55 



farm in the south, part, where he remained till his death. John 
S. Baker moved in from Genoa, Cayuga Co., in 1823, and took 
up a farm in the north-east part, where he still lives. John 
Swink, from Northumberland Co., Pa., settled in the eastern 
part in February of the same year. _ James Adams settled in 
the northern part, July 11, 1834. He came from Rutland Co., 
Vt., with an ox team and lumber wagon, bringing with him 
his wife and two small children, the journey occupying twenty- 
four days. He took up a farm of 123 acres, on which he is 
still living at the advanced age of 85 years. He still retains 
much of his physical vigor. Though the date of his settlement 
is comparatively recent the country at that time was quite 
new, but few improvements having been made. Andover vil- 
lage, he says, then contained but one frame and three log 
houses. One authority says that Nathaniel Dyke built the first 
framed house and barn in the town at Elm Valley ; and another 
that the former was built by Stephen Cole about 1817 or '18, 
and the latter by Willard Adams, in 1818, both at Elm Valley. 
Asa S. Allen built the first framed house in the village. The 
first school was taught by Lois Strong, in her father's house, 
about 18i9. The first school house — a log structure — was 
erected at the village about 1822 or '3. Luther Strong built 
the first saw and grist mill about three-fourths of a mile east of 
the village, in 1819; and kept the first hotel in 1820. The first 
store was kept at the village by Asa S. Allen, in 1823. Isaac 
Dyke and Pamelia Gilson contracted the first marriage in 
1802. The oldest burying ground in the town is at Elm Valley. 
The first white person who died in the town is buried there. 
The oldest graves are those of Zeriah Dyke, who died Jan. 21, 
1798, aged 10 months and 5 days; Lydia Dyke, who died Aug. 
2, 1801, aged 2 years, 5 months and 2 days; and Lecttey, or 
Leottey, Dyke, who died March 6, 1803, aged 6 months 
and 6 days. They are all daughters of James and Phebe Dyke. 
The tombstones, which are common flat stones and were prob- 
ably obtained in the immediate vicinity, are still standing, and 
the inscriptions, though dim, are still legible. The latter are 
distinct, but probably were not executed by a hand skilled in 
the art. The remains of Daniel Cole, the first white child born 
in the town, are interred there. 

The first religious services were held at the house of Mr. Dyke, by Rev. 
Silas Hubbard, in1808; and the first Church (Congregational) was formed 
by Rev. Robert Hubbard, July 14th, 1824. 

The First Baptist Church of Andover was organized with twelve mem- 
bers, Dec. 31, 1829, by Phil. Wardner, Samuel Rush, Ambrose Coats and 
others. The church edifice, which will seat 200 persons, wa^ erected in 
1853, at a cost of about $3,000, the present value of Church property.

St. John's Catholic Church, at Andover, was organized with about 300 
members, by Rev. John Tohey, the first pastor, in 1856, in which year 
their church edifice, which will seat about 350 persons, was erected, at a 
cost of about $800. The present number of members is about 600, and 
the present pastor is Rev. Philip Kensella. The Church property is 
valued at $2,000. [Information furnished by Mr. James O'Leary. 

The First Seventh Day Baptist Church of Andover was organized with 
43 members, by Rev. A. H. Lewis, the first pastor, in 1870. Their house

1871, for $3,000, the present value of Church property. The pastor is 
Rev. T. W. Williams. The number of members is tiie same as at its 
organization. [Information furnished by Mr. Wm. B. Clark. 

ANGELICA was formed from Leicester, Livingston Co., 
Feb. 25, 1805, and was named by Philip Church in honor of 
his mother, the eldest daughter of Gen. Philip Schuyler. 
Alfred and Caneadea were taken off March 11, 1808 ; Allen and 
Scio, Jan. 31, 1823 ; a part of Amity, Feb. 22. 1830 ; and a part 
of West Almond, April 15, 1833. Another part was annexed 
to Alfred in 1816. The first town meeting was held at the 
house of Joseph Taylor the first Tuesday in April, 1805, and 
the following named oflScers were elected : — Benjamin Riggs, 
Supervisor ; Joseph S. Hall, Town Clerk ; Luke Guodspeed, Syl- 
vanus Russell and Elijah Church, Assessors; John T. Hyde, 
Wm. Barney and Jacob S. Holt, Commissioners of Highways ; 
John T. Hyde, Collector; David Church, Constable; Wm.

Waterman, Thomas Cole, John Bennett, Ezra Bacon and George 
Otto, Overseers of Highways ; ^ose^h. Taylor, Abisha Cole and 
Wm. S. Heydon, Fence Vieicers. 

The town lies a little north of the center of the county, and 
contains 22,740 acres. The surface is a hilly upland, broken 
by the deep ravines of the streams. Genesee River flows across 
the south-west corner, and its tributary, ^Angelica Creek, 
through the center. The soil is a clayey loam upon the up- 
lands, and a gravelly loam in the valleys. 

The line of the proposed Rochester, Nunda & Pennsylvania 
R. R. passes through the central part of the town. 

The population in 1870 was 1643; of whom 1431 was native, 
212, foreign, 1612, white and 31, colored. 



ANGELICA. 57 



Angelica, (p. v.) .the county seat, is situated near the center 
of the town, on Angelica Creek. It was incorporated as a vil- 
lage May 2, 1835. It contains the court house, jail, ti\e 
churches, the Angelica Academy, one bank {First National Bank 
of Angelica, organized in November, 18G4, with a capital of 
$100,000,) a newspaper office, {the Angelica Republican Qsi'dhW&hedi. 
in 1835, and published weekly by P. S. Norris,) three hotels, 
several stores of various kinds, and various mechanic shops and 
manufacturing establishments. The population in 1870 was 991 

Blair & Franklin'' s flouring mill, situated one mile west of 
Angelica, is four stories high and contains four runs of stones 
which annually grind 15,000 to 20,000 bushels of wheat, 30,000 
to 40,000 bushels of corn, and 20,000 to 25,000 bushels of oats. 
The machinery is propelled by a water-wheel twenty-four feet 
in diameter. 

The Joncy Paper Mill, situated on Angelica Creek, one mile 
west of the village, was erected and used a number of years as 
a paper mill. In 1853 it was converted into a paper mill by 
Albert Brown, who made the first paper manufactured in Alle- 
gany county, and who continued the manufacture till his death 
in 1873, when he was succeeded by his son Charles Brown. The 
building is five stories high. Both steam and water are used as 
motors. Straw and rags are used in the manufacture. Twenty- 
seven persons are employed, and 300 tons of paper annually 
made. In connection with the paper mill is a steam saw-mili, 
where lumber, shingles and lath are made. 

The county poor house is located about two miles east of 
Angelica. 

Settlement was commenced in 1801 under the auspices 
of Judge Philip Church, a grand-son of Gen. Philip 
Schuyler, who i'h that year headed an exploring party to the 
Church Tract, owned jointly by himself and father, John B. 
Church of New York. Judge Church spent much of his time 
during the early years of settlement at Angelica in supervising 
improvements he projected, but he fixed his residence at Belvi- 
dere, in the town of Amity, in connection with the early settle- 
ments of which town a more extended notice of him is given. 
Settlements were made in this year (1801) by John Gibson, 
Abram Post, and possibly by Arad Rice. Gibson moved in 
from Geneva, having emigrated from Scotland about 1796. He 
accompanied Mr. Church in his explorations of 1801, and kept 
the store opened by the latter in 1802. He was the first sheriff 
in the county. He continued bis residence in the vicinity of 
Angelica to a ripe old age. Abram Post came from New Jersey 
and settled west of Angelica, where he remained about thirty 



58 ANGELICA. 



years. He was at onetime overseer of Philip Church's farm. 
His son Peter was born in 1807, and is still living at Belvidere. 
Arad Rice was from Vermont. He located on George Simons' 
farm and remained there till his death in 1848. Evert Van 
Wickle and John Lewis, both of whom accompanied Mr. 
Church on his tour of exploration, came to Angelica in 1802. 
Mr. Van Wickle was surveyor and local agent for Mr. Church, 
and under his immediate supervision the first substantial im- 
provements were made. The site of Angelica had previously 
been designated by Mr. Church for the building up of a village, 
and there Van Wickie's operations were directed. The erection 
of a saw and grist mill, the latter designed for one run of 
stones, was commenced. The saw mill was completed and got 
in operation in 1803 and the grist mill in 1803. A road was cut 
the same year (1802) from the west line of Steuben to Angelica, by 
Silas Ferry and John Ayers, the latter of whom continued his 
residence to a late day near the transit bridge. A frame dwell- 
ing for Mr. Van Wickle, a small log land office and a few shan- 
ties for dwellings were also erected that year. Joseph Taylor 
opened a tavern in 1802 ; and Judge Church, a small store, 
which, as previously stated, was managed by the late John 
Gibson. These were the first improvements of their kind in 
the town. Mr. Hedding and a Mr. Chamberlain settled at 
Angelica in 1803; and in that year a road was opened from 
Angelica to Belvidere. In 1805 Major Moses Van Campen, 
who first settled at Almond, removed to Angelica. Henry 
Mapes and his son Abraham Mapes, (the latter of whom is now 
living in the town of Belfast,) from Penn Yan, Yates Co., and 
Alex. Dautremont, from Chenango Co., settled in the town in 
1806. At an early day the nearest post office to Angelica was 
Bath, and about this time, or a little earlier, the citizens clubbed 
together and contracted with Wm. Barney to make the trip, 
carrying letters and papers, once a month. A son of Mr. 
Barney's, who was blind, made the trips till he was killed by a 
fall from his horse. Hyde de Neuville — an exile during the 
government of the Empire, and minister to the U. S. upon the 
restoration of the French monarchy, from 1816 to 1822 — 
resided at Angelica in 1807-8 ; and Victor Dupont, also a dis- 
tinguished French exile, was an early settler at Angelica. 
John Hooker, from Athens, Vt., and Vial Thomas, from the 
town of Scituate, R. I., settled in the town in 1809. At this 
time there were only a few shanties where the village now is. 
John Common, from Northumberlandshire, England, came in 
1818. Edmund Coats, a native of Connecticut, moved in from 
Brookfield, Madison Co., in 1819. In 1822 he was united in 
marriage to Miss Catharine Burns, (who removed to this town 



ANGELICA. 59 



with her father Christian Burns, from Montgomery Co. in May, 
1817, at the age of thirteen years,) and in 1823 he removed to 
the town of Independence, where his wife has since resided, 
settling on lot 48. About 1850 he went west, where he now 
lives. Russell Burlingame settled in the town in 1820. The 
first birth in town, says French, was that of Catherine S. Mul- 
leiider. Mrs. Moses V. Chamberlain of Belfast says that her 
husband, who was born in Angelica March 31, 1804, was the 
first white male child born in town. French also says that the 
first marriage was that of SyWanus Russell and Esther Van 
Wickle, in 1805; while we are otherwise advised that the mar- 
riage of John Palmer and Catharine MuUiuder was the first. 
The first death was that of Ira Stephens, Sep. 20, 1803. The 
first school was taught in 1804 — 05 by Widow S. Smith. 

The first religious services were conducted by Rev. Robert Hubbard, a 
Presbyterian, in 1811; and the first Church, now denominated the bimt 
PreAyterian Church, of which, as well as the Church at Almond, he wa^ 
installed pastor Aug. 20, 1812, was organized by Rev. John Niles, then 
pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Bath, May 6, 1812, with six mem- 
bers, viz : Moses Van Campen and Margaret his wife. James Renwick, 
David Chamberlain, Elizabeth his wife and Mrs. Prudence Johnson, his 
daughter, Moses Van Campen was chosen ruling elder in the Church the 
same day. The installation services were held on the veranda of Evert 
VauWickle's house, the female part of the congregation being accommo- 
dated with seats in the house, and most of the males in the open air in 
front of it. In 1830 their first house of worship was erected ; and in 18.16 
the present one, which will seat 400 persons, was erected, at a cost of $7,0U0. 
Tlie Society, which is without a pastor, numbers 130, and its property is 
valued at $10,000. Mr. Hubbard's connection with the Church was dis- 
solved Oct. 4, 1826, wlien he removed to Dansville, where he was instru- 
mental in gathering a Church, though he was never again regulaily 
installed as pastor. 

"Mr. Hubbard," says Hotchkin in his Hisinry of Western New York, to which, and 
to Mr. Smith Davis of Angelica, we are indebted for the foregoing facts relative to 
this Society, "was a native of Shelburne, [Mass.] He was a graduate of Williams' 
College of the class of 1803. He was probably about twenty years old when he left 
College ; regular in his habits, but not pious. After leaving college he commenced 
the study of the law, and piirsued it, as the author believes, about two years. During 
this period his attention was cailed to a consideration of the things which concerned 
the salvation of his soul ; his views were radically changed, and he was led to enter- 
tain a hope in Christ. The change in Mr. Hubbard was very visible, and through 
the remainder of his life was very distinctly marked. When he was brought by the 
teachings of the spirit and personal experience to know the value of an interest in 
Christ, he ardently desired that his f eUow-men might be partakers of the same 
benefit. The ministry of reconciliation appeared to him a most desirable employ- 
ment. He relinquished the study of the law, and commenced the study of Theology 
under the tuition of Dr. Packard, the pastor of the Church of Shelburne. * * * His 
licensure took place, probably, in 1809-'10. He is known to have been recently licensed, 
when he came into Western NewYork in 1810. During the period in which he resided in 
the county of Allegany, his labors were by no means confined to the congregations 
from which he received his support, but were extended through all parts of that 
county, and the western part of the county of Steuben. He was the only minister 
of the Presbyterian denomination in the region. He was unwearied in his labors, and 
in attending to his ministerial appointments was utterly regardless of the vicissitudes 
of the weather. But it was impossible for him to cultivate so extensive a field in any 
thorough manner ; hence he was not distinguished for great success and remarkable 
results. He formed a number of churches and kept them alive : but it was impossi- 
ble for him to bestow upon them the amount of labor needed to cause them to 
flourish. He undertook to cultivate too large a field, and would probably have been 



60 ANGELICA— BELFAST. 



more useful, had his field of labor been more circumscribed. Mr. Hubbard was 
through life distinguished for a devotional spirit. He evidently lived near to God. 
He was remarkable for his indifference to the things of the world, and for his exten- 
sive charity. At any time he was ready to divide the last loaf with any destitute 
person. He was not, however, always judicious in his charities, but suffered him- 
self to be imposed upon by the worthless and designing. During the last years of 
his life his health was feeble ; consumptive symptoms manifested themselves ; but 
to the extent of his power he continued in the work of the ministry, although he 
had no particular charge of any congregation. Death overtook him at Canisteo, 
where he had gone to perform the work of the ministry, on the 24th day of May, 
liilO, and in the fifty-seventh year of his age." 

8t. Paul's Church, (Protestant Episcopal,) at Angelica, was organized by 
Rev. Wm. Bostwick, the first pastor, in 1828. The first house of worship 
was erected in 1834 ; and in 1848 the present one, which will seat 300 per- 
sons, was erected at a cost of $3,500. Tlie present pastor is Rev. John 
Leech, our informant, and the number of members, sixty-two. The 
Church property is valued at $5,500. 

BEL FAST was formed from Caneadea, March 24, 1824, as 
Orrinsbiirgh, and its named changed April 21, 1825. Another 
part of Caneadea was annexed in 1831. The first town meeting 
was held April 6, 1824, and the following named officers were 
elected: David Hitchcock, Supervisor; Elijah Reynolds, Toivn 
Clerk; Elisha Chamberlain, Jr., Constable and Collector ; So\o- 
mon Benjamin, John Mcintosh and John McKeen, Assessors ; 
Packard Bruce, Nathaniel Reynolds and Joseph Benjamin, Com- 
missioners of Highioays ; Joseph T. Ford, Samuel Wilkinson 
and John McKeen, Commissioners of Common Schools; D. D. 
Hardy, Hiram G-ray and F. S. ^[\\s,ow, Justices ; and James 
Jennings, Overseer of the Poor. 

The town lies a little north-west of the center of the connty 
and contains 21,988 acres. The surface is broken and hilly, 
especially in the western part, and is separated into distinct 
ridges. The summits of the highest hills are 600 to 800 feet 
above the streams. It is drained by Genesee River, which 
crosses the north-east part, and its tributaries Black and White 
creeks, which flow diagonally in a north-easterly direction 
through the town. Crawford Creek, also a tributary to the 
Genesee, crosses the north-west corner. The creeks flow through 
narrow, irregular valleys bordered by abrupt hillsides. The 
soil upon the hills isaclayey loam and in the valleys, especially 
in that of the Genesee, a highly productive gravelly loam. 
About a mile above the mouth of White Creek is a quarry from 
which large quantities of stone are annually taken. 

The Genesee Valley Canal crosses the north-west part of the 
town, in the valley ot Black Creek. 

The line of the proposed Rochester, Nunda & Pennsylvania 
R. R., crosses the town from East to West, following the valley 
of Black Creek after crossing the Genesee; 

The population of the town in 1870 was 1,488; of whom all 
were white, 1,367, native and 121, foreign. 



BELFAST. Q 1 

Belfast, (p. v.) situated on the west bank of the Genesee, 
near the north line of the town, and adjacent to the Genesee 
Valley Canal, is the seat of Genesee Valley Seminary., which was 
chartered in 1856, opened Dec. 2, 1857, will accommodate 
300 students, and is under the charge of the M. E. Church, and

Transit Bridge (p. o.) is a hamlet situated on the Genesee 
River and on the east line of the town, and contains a cheese 
factory. 



62 BELFAST. 

EocKViLLE is a hamlet situated on the Genesee Valley Canal 
in the west part of the town. It is named from a grindstone 
quarry in the vicinity which is not now worked. 

Settlement was commenced in 1803, by Benjamin, Elisha, 
Calvin and David Chamberlain, brothers, who came from Penn- 
sylvania and located on Genesee River, near the line of Angelica. 
1'hey were followed soon after by Nathaniel Reynolds, Thaddeus 
Bennett and David Sanford. Jedediah Nobles and Benjamin 
Littleton, from Elmira, came in 1805, and located, the former 
on the river, and the latter on Wigwam Creek. George Jenkins 
says he was born on lot 10, on the east side of Genesee River, 
in 1808, and lived there until 1816, when he moved with his 
father to lot 48, on White Creek, upon which stream, he says, 
they were the first settlers. Thomas Mapes, now of Willing, 
was born in Belfast in IVlarch, 1811, and has been a resident of 
this county most of his life. Rockwell Harper, who was born 
in Chemung Co., in 1792, removed to this town in February, 
1812, and settled on lot 10, where he now lives. Simon C. 
Moore was born in Oxford, Worcester Co., Mass., Aug. 7, 1791, 
and removed thence on foot to Belfast, May 13, 1813, riding 
only across the Hudson. After teaching school one year he 
entered the store of Alex. Dautremont of Angelica as clerk, 
there he remained three years when he removed to the town of 
Cuba and settled three-fourths of a mile south of Cuba village. 
Mr. Moore says that when he went to Angelica there was no 
church there, meetings being held in the jail. Harry Byrns, a 
native of Oneida Co., removed with his father from that county 
to Scio in 1812, and to this town in 1813, locating a little south 
of the village of Belfast, where, he says, there was, at that time, 
only a saw and grist mill and a log shanty owned by Elder 
Sanford. These were the first mills in the town and were erect- 
ed by David San lord, on the river, just below the village, in 
1809. He also, it is believed, built the first framed house, at 
the village. Mr. Byrns, who still lives where he first located, 
says his father's was the first painted framed house in town, 
in 1829. Joseph T. Ford and wife, natives of Connecticut, 
came in 1818. Lewis H. Ford, also a native of Connecticut, 
came in 1819 and settled in the north-east part of the town, on 
lot 8, on the place now occupied by John Sellon. Mrs. Milton 
Millett, a native of Canada, settled in the town in 1820, on 
White Creek, on the section line of lot 55. 0. A. Jenkins was 
born in Belfast in 1822 and lived there till 1847, when here- 
moved to Whitesville, in the town of Independence, where he 
now resides. Settlements were made in 1824 by Mrs. Ezra 
Tibbetts, Charles Drew and Matthew Lounsbury. Mrs. Tibbetts 
is a native of Connnecticut. She settled on lot 11, where 



BELFAST. 63 



George Ramsey now lives. Drew and Lounsbury settled in the 
south-west corner of the town, the former on lot 9 and the 
latter on lot 1. Drew is a native of Orange Co. In 1837 he 
erected a saw mill on the north branch of White Creek, which 
then afforded a good water power, though there is not now 
sufficient water to run a mill. Lounsbury is a native of New 
Jersey. He came into the county from Steuben Co., with an 
ox t?am and s'ed, cutting his road before him, the year previous 
to his settlement in this town. He purchased 123 acres of land 
from the Holland Land Co., paying therefor $2.50 per acre. While 
at Angelica he had a ring put in his ox yoke, the charge for 
which was nineteen cents, but as he did not have the money to 
pay for it he was obliged to give his note for the amount, paya- 
ble one day after date. He and his brother Samuel built a log 
shanty by felling trees and covered it with bark. He lay at 
night for three weeks with his rifle in his hand to defend 
himself from the attack of wild beasts which were then very 
nu'uerous. He threshed his wheat with a flail and cleaned it 
with a hand fan, which was made of deer skin strained over a 
hoop. He could clean over twenty bushels in a day. He brought 
with him apple seeds from which he raised a nursery and set 
out trees. Starkey Gleason, a native of Seneca Co., moved in 
with his father in 1825. In 1842 he removed to the town of 
New Hudson, where he now lives. He remembers while living 
in Belfast ot seeing nine deer in a wheat field at one time. 
Stephen Willson, a native of Susquehanna Co., Pa., moved in 
here in 1829. Wm. Pasco, a native of Washington Co., came 
the same year and settled near the line of Friendship, on the 
farm now occupied by Wm. Guilford. Mrs. Lucinda Crawford 
moved in from Yates Co., in 1830 and settled on "Gleason Hill." 
In July, 1838, a destructive tornado which crossed the county 
from north-west to south-east did much damage in this town. 
It swept away houses, barns and other moveable things and 
laid the forest trees in a wind-row nearly half a mile wide. 
Large trees were torn up by the roots or broken and carried some- 
times a distance of twenty feet through the air and left in hugh 
piles twelve to twenty leet high. So great was its force that trees 
that had for some time been felled were moved froni their posi- 
tion. Articles, says Lewis Ford, were carried a distance of a 
mile, and one, Charles Bullock, and family, seeing the gale 
coming, sought refuge upon the bed, which, with its human 
freight, was carried a distance of four or five rods. Their house 
was demolished above them and they badly injured. Stephen 
Willson says he was putting his team in the barn when the 
tornado struck them. The barn was moved from its foundation 
and he buried beneath its ruined timbers. His wife, he says,

clung to the casing of a door near the chimney. The house 
was moved about six feet. The chimney fell through to the 
cellar, leaving his wife standing on the edge of the chasm. 
Siding from his house was carred a distance of ten or twelve 
miles. 

The first birth in town was that of Deborah Reynolds, in 
August, 1805. The first marriage was that of John Sanford 
and Mary Collar, in 1806. The first school was taught by 
Elijah Reynolds, in 1807. Joseph S. Raymond kept the first 
inn, near the village, in 1821. Samuel King and Martin Butts 
kept the first store, on lot 12, near where J. H. Chamberlain 
now lives, in 1824. The first house upon the hill where Belfast 
village now is was a log structure built in 1816, by Alex. V. P. 
Chamberlain. The first store in the same locality was kept by 
B. Chamberlain and — — Hues, about 1840, and the first 
hotel, by Henry D. Lyman, about 1842. 

Rev. Ephraim Sanford, a Baptist, conducted the first religious services 
at the house of Nathaniel Reynolds, in 1806, and formed the first Church 
in 1807—08. — French's Gazetteer of New York. 

The First Baptist Church of Belfast was organized with twelve members, 

by Rev. Sanford, in ISU. The church edifice was erected in 1843, 

at a cost of $1,200. It will seat 250 persons. The first pastor was Rev. 
Isaiah Smith. The Society, numbering fifty, is under the pastoral care of 
Rev. R. E. Hillman, and its property is valued at $4,000. — [Infoi'ination 
furnished by Mr. Lewis H. Ford. ] 

The First M. E. Church of Belfast erected their house of worship, which 
will seat 275 persons, in 1848, at a cost of $1500. It consists of seventy- 
one members. Its property is valued at $5,000. The pastor is Rev. E. J. 
Cook, our informant, who is unable to give fuller data in consequence of 
the loss of the early records. 

HIRDSALL was formed from Allen and Almond, May 4, 
1829, and derives its name from Judge John Birdsall, Circuit 
Judge of the Eighth Judicial District in 1828-9. The first town 
meeting was held at the house of James Matthews in 1829, and 
the following named officers were elected: Andrew C. Hull, 
Supervisor; Horace B. Camp, Town Clerk; Thomas Parker, 
R. Thompson and James Matthews, Assessors; Samuel Hodg- 
man, Thomas Havens and David Bennett, Commissioners of 
Highways; David Bennett, Abram J. Havens and Daniel 
Schenck, School Commissioners; Joseph B. Welch, Horace B. 
Camp and John P. Albaugh, Inspectors of Schools ; Josiah Whit- 
man and Gilbert C. Little, Overseers of (he Poor; Chester 
Sleteker, Thomas M. VanWormer and Jonathan Jackson, Con- 
stables ; Thomas Ya,nWormer, Collector ; J os'vdh Whitman and 
Lawrence Dey, Justices ; and Aaron Hale, Town Sealer. 

It is an interior town, lying north-east of the center of the 
county, and contains 22,267 acres. The surface is principally a

hilly upland, separated into several distinct ridges. The declivi- 
ties of the hills are usually very abrupt, and their highest sum- 
mits are 500 to 800 feet above the valleys. Black Creek, flow- 
ing south through the west part, and the head waters of Canisteo 
River, in the south-east part, form the principal drainage. The 
soil is clay loam, underlaid by hard-pan, and is well adapted to 
wheat and grass. 

The line of the proposed Rochester, Nunda & Pennsylvania 
R. R., as surveyed, extends in a south-westerly direction through 
the central part of the town. 

The population of the town in 1870 was 755; of whom all 
were white, 652, native and 103, foreign. 

BiRT^SALL, (p. o.) situated on the line of the proposed R., J^. 
& P. R. R., one mile west of the center of the town, contains a 
church, (M. E.) two stores, one blacksmith shop, one saw mill 
and a few dwellings. The building of a hotel is comtemplated. 

The first settlement was made on lot 24, by Josiah Whitman 
in 1816. Wm. P. Schaack and a man named Vance, from New 
Jersey, and Jeremiah VanWormer, from Cayuga Co., settled 
here soon after. James Matthews, also from New Jersey, settled 
on lot 21, near the center, in 1818. Wm. Dey and his son, 
Lemuel C. Dey, came in from Cayuga Co., in 1822 and settled 
on lot 5. John I., James I., and Lawrence J. Dey and John 
Mesei-all came in from Middlesex Co., N. J., in 1823, and 
settled on lot 5. The first birth was that of James E, Matthews, 
son of James Matthews, March 7. 1820; the first marriage was 
that of Samuel VanWickle to Harriet Freeman, daughter of 
Reuben Freeman, in 1821 ; and the first death, that of Leah 
Riggs. daughter of John Riggs, in 1824. Hannah Scott taught 
the first school in 1822. Elias Hull kept the first inn and 
Joseph B. Welch the first store, in 1828. \Vra. Lord erected the 
first saw mill, on Black Creek, in 1823 or '24. 

The first religious services were held at the house of Wm. Dey, by Rev. 
Robert Hubbard, a Presbyterian, in 1823 ; and the first Church (M. E.) 
was formed by Rev. Eleazur Dewey, in 1825. 

Crittenden M. E. Church, at Birdsall, was organized with four members 
in 1857, by Rev. Alfred I. Blanchard, the first pastor. The church edifice 
was erected in 1871. It cost $2,000, one half the present value of the 
Church property, and will seat 200 persons. There are sixty members, 
who are under the spiritual tutelage of Rev. George Sherer. [Information 
furnished by Mr. Charles P. Headley. 

St. Joseph's Church (Catholic) was organized with forty-three members, 
and their house of worship, which will seat eighty persons, was erected in 
1850, at a cost of $900. The first pastor was Rev. Daniel More ; the present 
one is Rev. Peter Donehue. The Society numbers forty-five, and its 
property is valued at $1,000. {Information furnished by Mr. Thomas 
Riley ] 



66 BOLIVAR. 

BOLIVAB was formed from Friendship, Feb. 15, 1835. 
A part of Wirt was taken off April 13, 1838. Tiie first town 
meeting was held March 1, 1835, and the following named 
officers were elected: Asa Cowles, Supervisor; Austin Cowles, 
Totvn Clerk; Pliny L. Evans, Jonah French and Eli Lesuer, 
Assessors; Elijah Fuller, Collector; Simon Wightman and 
Jonathan Hitchcock, Overseers of the Poor; Elijah Fuller and 
Philip Ai)pleby, Constables; and Levi Appleby, Ebenezer Kel- 
logg and Alvan Richardson, Commissioners of Common Schools. 

The town lies npon the south border, west of the center of 
the county, and contains 32,600 acres. The surface is a broken, 
hilly upland, the hills in some parts being too steep for profita- 
ble cultivation. It is drained by Little Genesee Creek, which 
crosses the north-west corner, Honeoye Creek, which crosses the 
south-east corner, and Horse Creek, a small tributary to the 
latter stream, which flows thl-ough the south-west part. The 
soil upon the hills is a reddish clay loam, and in the valleys a 
gravelly loam. It is generally best adapted to grazing. The 
})eople are principally engaged in farming, dairying being the 
chief pursuit in the northern and western parts. 

Thepopulation in 1870 was 959 ; of whom all, except fifteen, 
were native and all, except three, white. 

BoLiVAE, (p. o.) situated on Little Genesee Creek and on the 
line of the proposed R., N. & P. R. R., in the north-west part 
of the town, contains a church, (M.E.) one hotel, three general 
stores, one boot and shoe store, one grocery, a grist mill, a small 
tannery, wagon shop, blacksmith shop, harness shop, two shoe 
shops, cheese factory, thirty-seven dwellings and about 180 
inhabitants. 

South Bolivar, (p. o.) (locally known also as Honeoye Corners 
and Honeoye Forks,) situated on Honeoye Creek, in the south 
part, contains a wagon shop, blacksmith shop, nine dwellings 
and about fifty inhabitants. 

Two or three years previous to the first permanent settlement 
Zephaniah Smith, a hunter from Unadilla, Otsego Co., was 
accustomed to spend the winter in this vicinity in hunting, re- 
turning in the summer to Otsego Co. His last visit was during 
the winter of 1818-19. He builta log hut about sixteen feet square, 
with a chamber, in which several of the first settlers lived till 
they could build a house of their own. He directed many of 
the first settlers to this town. This rude structure was the first 
human habitation in the town. The first permanent settlement 
was made Dec. 8, 1819, by Timothy Cowles, a native of Ver- 
mont, who came in from Otsego Co., and settled on lot 61, 
where he remained till about 1850, when he went west and

soon after died. His sons, Alvin T. and Erastus Cowles, the 
former of whom was born in Otsego Co., in 1808, and the 
lutter,in the town of Friendship, June 19, 1819,camein with him 
and still reside in the town. Alvin lived with his father till 
1833, when he took up land on lot 52. In the spring of the 
same year Jonathan Hitchcock, in company with Alvin Richard- 
son and Nathan Gilbert, moved into the county. Hitchcock 
took up land on lot 48, in this town, in the south part of the 
village of Kichbnrg, while his companions located in the 
present town of Wirt, both of these towns being then a part of 
Friendship. Hitchcock actually made the first improvements in 
the towj), if we except Smith, though Cowles was the first to 
move his family in. Hitchcock bought the claim of Zephaniah 
Smith. He renovated the hut Smith had erected, puttino- in a 
new floor, and a new roof in place of the bark one. He also 
built a linter, or lean-to. During this season he cleared a piece 
of land on which he planted corn and potatoes, and later in the 
season he cleared some five acres, on which, in the autumn, he 
sowed wheat. In the latter part of November he started for 
Unadilla, Otsego Co., after his wife and children, four in num- 
ber, leaving his step-son and step daughter, Samuel and Polly 
Buckley, who came with him, at Azal Buckley's, in the town of 
Wirt, till his return. Mr. Hitchcock returned with his family 
Feb. 15, 1820, finding that Christopher Tyler, who had come in 
during the winter, had taken possession of the house. Mr. 
Tyler was born in Ehode Island, July 21, 1787. He removed 
to Friendship from Otsego Co., in company with Timothy, Asa 
and Austin Cowles, who also, its appears, remained a short 
time in that town, and the latter two of whom moved into this 
town soon after him. He lived with Mr. Hitchcock till June, 
1820, when he removed to his own land on lot 55. Mr. Hitchcock 
lived in the town till his death in 1863, with the exception of 
one year. He was born in Northampton, Conn., Aug. 5, 1770. 
His son, Horace, who was born in January, 1812, and came in- 
to the town with the family, has since lived there, with the 
exception of six years. Eli Lesuer, who was born in Unadilla, 
Otsego Co., Nov. 25, .1796, removed thence to Bolivar in the 
autumn of 1821, and selected land on lot 62, where he built 
a log house. He then went back to Otsego after his family, 
returning with them the following January. The nearest grist 
mill and physician, he says, were at Friendship, a distance of 
twelve miles. The settlers were accustomed to put their grists 
upon a sled, to which two yokes of oxen were attached, and a 
man was selected to take them to mill. The journey occupied 
two to three days. The only article which commanded money 
was black salts, which all the first settlers made. Thev were

usually drawn to Friendship, but on one occasion Mr. Lesuer 
says he drew them to Franklinville. in Cattaraugus Co. He is 
still living in the town. Samuel Davie was bora in New Jer- 
sey, Feb. 14, 1790, and removed with his parents at an early 
age to Otsego Co. In March, 1823, he removed to this town 
and bought of Abram Crandall, a land speculator at Friend- 
ship, a piece of land he had selected on lot 63, upon which was 
a small log house, but no clearing. He C( mmenced a clearing 
for a garden plot and for corn. He remained until about the 
first of June, when, having made his garden and planted some 
corn, he went back to Oisegn Co. after his family, returning 
with them the same month. He brought with him a team of 
horses, which, he says, was the first in town and the only one 
between "Notch Hill," in Wirt, and Ceres. He served as a 
soldier for a short time in tiie war of 1812; and during the 
late war of the Rebellion heenlisted and was accepted by repre- 
senting himself to be only forty-four years old. His two sons 
on hearing of his enlistment, with much difficulty prevailed 
upon him to relinquish the idea of joining the army, and he 
only consented to do so on their promise to enlist themselves, 
which they finally did. He has resided in the town since he first 
came. Ebenezer Kellogg removed from the same county and. 
settled on lot 56, in or about the same year (1823.) Abel Eoot, a 
native of Otsego Co., removed trom Madison Co., to Scio in 
February, 1822, and in February, 1824, to lot 54 in this town, 
where he remained till 1845, when he moved to Illinois. Three 
children (Abel Jr., David C. and Truman B.,) who came with 
him, and one (James H.) who was born here, still live in the 
town. David C. Root lived with his father till he attained his 
majority, (in 1829) when he took an article for laud on lot 38, 
upon which he removed his family in 1831, and where h'e still 
lives. Abel Root Jr. married in 1826 and settled on lot 46, 
where he remained till 1839, when he removed to lot 38, where 
he still lives. He was the first settler in " Root Hollow." H. 
B. Newton moved in from Madison Co., in 1824, and settled 
at Bolivar village. In 1825 he and Asa Cowles opened a store 
there, which was the first one in the town. In 1831 he opened 
at the same place the first hotel, which he continued to keep 
till 1845. He died in the town in 1873, aged seventy-four 
years. Isaac and Wm. Wellman and Samuel Frost moved in 
from Verijiont the same year (1824,) and were the first to settle 
in the north-east part of the town. The Wellman brothers 
located on lot 16, remaining only a year, and Frost, on lot 24, 
where he lived about three years. Isaac Case and his son 
Bradford W. Case, the latter of whom was born in New Bed- 
ford, Mass., Sept. 6, 1812, moved from Onondaga Co. with an 



BOLIVAR. 69 

OX team and settled in the south-east part of the town of Wirt 
in January, 1822. Owing to the depth of snow they were 
unable to reach their destination, so they stopped at Levi 
Applebee's, near the center of Wirt, till March, when they 
moved into the house the father had built the previous year. 
In 1825 they removed to lot 16 in this town. B. W. Case has 
lived in this town and Wirt since he first came to the county. 
He was a mechanic, and built nine saw mills for different par- 
ties in one year. He relates that in 1825 Samuel Frost and two 
or three of his sons went one Sunday afternoon to pick chest- 
nuts a little south of their house. At night Mr. Frost started 
home to do the chores, leaving his boys to follow when they 
had finished picking. When the latter reached home their 
father had not arrived and apprehending danger from his pro- 
tracted delay they went over to Isaac Case's to get help to search 
for him. They repaired to the locality where he had been pick- 
ing chestnuts, but could find no traceof him. The next morn- 
ing the neighbors were alarmed and joined in the search, and 
in the afternoon, as no tidings were learned of him, Mr. Case 
went to Friendship village to procure additional help to join 
the search, so that by Monday night some twenty or thirty men 
had gathered together. A' corresponding number of women 
had collected at the house of the missing man to help to cook 
and provide for the searchers. The search was continued until 
Thursday night, at day and more or less at night, when they 
met in council and decided that it was useless longer to con- 
tinue it. While they were thus engaged Mr. Case bethought 
him to look in a small gully near by. He soon discovered 
tracks which he followed to a muddy place, and while making 
a detour around this he discovered Mr. Frost lying beside a log, 
very weak and nearly insensible. A rude litter was constructed 
on which he was carried home. He was able to be around 
again in a few days. A ten quart pail with which he started for 
home was found on Tuesday, half full of chestnuts, and the large 
quantity of shucks which were found strewn around near it 
indicated that he had spent the previous night in walking be- 
tween two large trees twelve or lourteen feet apart. We pre- 
sume Mr. Frost became lost in the woods, though we are not 
advised upon that point. Peter Ayers removed from Seneca 
Co. to the town of Wirt in April, 1821, and in 1827, to this 
town, where he has since resided. David Thurber moved in 
from Cayuga Co. in March, 1829, and settled on lot 46, where 
he remained till his death in February, 1845. His wife still 
lives upon the old homestead. Jeremiah Burdick, from Cort- 
land Co., and Leonard Daniels, from Otsego Co., came in 1830, 
the latter in October. Burdick settled on lot 55, and lived in

the town till his death in 1873. Daniels settled on lot 53. Elias 
Scott, a native of New Hampshire, removed with his father to 
Friendship, from Genesee Co., in 1828, and in 1831, to lot 39, 
in this town, where he has since lived. Levi Lesner, from 
Otsego Co., settled on lot 55, in June, 1832. Charles Cowles, 
from Steuben Co., and James Davie, from Otsego Co., settled 
in the town in 1833, Davie on lot 54. In 1834 John Phillips, 
from Vermont, settled on lot 24. Clark Millard moved in from 
Otsego Co. and settled on lot 60, in October of the same year. 
In March. 1850, he removed to the town of Genesee, where he 
still resides. His son Nelson, who came with him. still lives 
in the town. S. W. Thomas was born at Angelica, Oct. 14, 
1814, and in June, 1834, he removed to Richburg and entered 
the store of Nelson Hoyt as clerk. In 1836 Mr. Hoyt removed 
to Bolivar village and built and opened a store, which, says 
Mr. Thomas, was the first " regular" store in Bolivar. It was 
built in the winter of 1835-6, and opened in February, 1836. Mr. 
Thomas also connected himself with Mr. Hoyt as clerk in this 
store, and sold the first goods in it. In 1840 he entered into 
partnership with Mr. Hoyt, and three years thereafter he open- 
ed a store of his own. He has since continued that business in 
this village, with the exception of two years spent in Richburg 
in the same business. Mr. lioyt kept the store till his death 
about 1857. 

The first birth in town was that of Almond W. Cowles, in 1820; 
the first marriage, that of Daniel Kellogg arid Sophia Hitch- 
cock, in 1825; and the first death, that of a child of Luther 
Austin, in 1823. The first school house was a log structure, 
built on the north-east corner of lot 55, on lands now owned 
by S. G. S. Rowley, in the early part of the summer of 1820. 
The first school was taught the same summer by Rachel Gil- 
bert, at seventy-five cents per week. Austin Cowles taught in 
the winter of 1820-21. The first saw mill was built in 1822, 
on Little Genesee Creek, on lot 55, near the village, by an 
association of early settlers, consisting of Christopher Tyler, 
Asa and Austin Cowles and Luther Austin, the latter of whom 
was the millwright. Asa Cowles erected the first grist mill 
on lot 54, at the village, in 1824. Luther Austin built the first 
framed house on lot 55. Morris Wilson built and opened the 
first store at Honeoye Corners. He also kept the first public 
house there. Two brothers named Warner opened a grocery 
store at the Corners soon after Wilson did his. 

The first religious services were held by the Methodists and conducted 
by Austin Cowles, in 1820. The first Church was organized by the same 
denomination in 1828. 

The First Baptist Church of Richburg was organized in 1833, by Rev.

Eliab Gowen, and the church edifice, which will seat 250 persons, was 
erected in 1840, at a c^st of about $2,500. Rev. Joseph Wilcox was the 
first pastor ; Rev. C. F. Blakemau is the present one. There are seventy- 
seveti members. The Church property is valued at $4,500. {Information

It is the north-east corner town in the county, and contains 
15,482 acres. The surface is hilly and broken, and is best 
adapted to grazing. The summits of the highest hills are 400 
to 700 feet above the valleys. The principal streams are Canase- 
raga Creek,* which flows in a north-easterly direction through 
the northern part, and its tributaries, South Valley and Slader 
creeks, the former of which flows north through the central, and 
the latter north and east through the south-western part. 

The Buffalo Branch of the Erie R. R. crosses the northern 
part of the town. The proposed Rochester, Nnnda& Pennsyl- 
vania R. R. just enters tiie northwest corner of the town and 
leaves it again almost immediately by a short turn. 

The population in 1870 was 1340; of whom 1221 were native, 
119, foreign and all, white. 

\ Canaseraga (p. V.) (formerly called Whitney Valley) is 

I situated on Canaseraga Creek and the Buffalo Division of the

the Buffalo Division of the Erie K. R., in the north-west cor- 
ner of the town, contains one store, one blacksmith shop, one 
steam saw mill and about a dozen dwellings. 

BuKNs, situated in the eastern part of the town, about one 
mile north-west of Burns Station, contains one church (not 
in use) and about a dozen dwellings. 

Bailey dc Garwood's Mill gives employment to about forty 
persons and annually manufactures about one million feet of 
lumber besides a large quantity of staves and heading. 

The first settlement was made in the north-western part of the 
town, on Canaseraga Creek, in 1805, by Moses and Jeremiah 
Gregory, John Gaddis and Samuel Rodman. It is related of 
Mrs. Rodman that she was accustomed to visit at Canaseraga, 
and while walking the distance there and back would foot a 
pair of stockings. Settlements were made in 1806 by Wm. 
Carroll, Wm, Hopkins, Elijah and Daniel Abbott, Eiias Van- 
scoter, Thomas Quick and Thomas Boylan. Carroll settled 
a little south of the central part of the town, on lot 40. He 
was a soldier in the Revolutionary war, and after that he spent 
some time as a sailor. March 3, 1785, he married Phebe Wort- 
man. He came here from the south-west part of Pennsylvania, 
bringing with him his family consisting of his wife, five sons 
and three daughters, and spent the remainder of his life on the 
farm he then took up. His son John, who was about eight 
years old when they came in, lived on the same farm till bis 
death at the age 78 years. He never had any shoes till he was 
eight years old. He was a noted hunter, and furnished his 
neighbors with game, which was abundant at an early day. 
Hopkins, who settled in the central part of the town, the 
Abbotts, who settled at DeWitt's Valley, and Quick, who set- 
tled in the eastern part, were also from Pennsylvania. Van- 
scoter, originally from Pennsylvania, came from Arkport, ; 
Steuben Co., and settled in the eastern part, where he spent 1 
the rest of his life. Boylan was the first settler at Canase- i 
raga. He came from Bluff Point on Crooked Lake in ! 
the spring of 1806, about the time the trees leaved out, with I 
one of his sons, James H., and purchased a tract of land a I 
half mile square, lot 99. They brought with them, on their | 
backs, provisions enough to last till they had cut six acres of j 
timber, when they returned to Bluff Point to attend to haying j 
and harvesting. After harvest a cart was loaded with seed | 
grain and provisions and the twain again set out for this locality. } 



BURNS. 73 

At Dansville they were obliged to abandon the cart, and load 
its contents upon the backs of the oxen, as there was nothing 
but an Indian path from that place to their destination. Having 
logged a fallow they turned out the cattle to feed along the 
creek while they burned it. When they went in search of the 
cattle one of them was found dead, so that Mr. Boylan was 
obliged to return to Bluflf Point fur another and for more seed 
grain. After the grain was in the body of a log house was 
erected north of the creek, on the eastern edge of the village, 
and a patch of timber cut around it. They then returned to 
BluiT Point and remained till spring, when Mr. Boylan came on 
and put in some corn and potatoes among the logs and covered 
his liouse. He then returned for his family, (consisting of 
his wife, Elizabeth,) and five sons, (James H., John, Firman, 
Isaac and Samuel,) and his stock, consisting of twenty-two 
head of cattle. All he had to winter his cattle upon was the 
wheat straw and few corn stalks he had raised, so that he was 
obliged to browse his cattle a good part of the winter. On the 
fourth of March, 1807, snow fell four feet deep on the level. 
He occupied his log house till about 1820 and cleared a large 
portion of his farm. He then built a frame house where the 
Pelton House now stands, and which is a part of that building, 
A frame house was built about the same time by a Mr. Abbott 
in the eastern part of the town. Christopher Boylan, son of 
Samuel, to whom we are indebted for the facts relative to his 
father's family, was accustomed to go to school bare-footed, 
bare-headed and without mittens and to slide upon the ice as 
long as those who had shoes, stockings, hats and mittens. He 
says he never had a hat nor a pair of shoes till after he was 
ten years old. He is still living near Canaseraga village. 
Nathaniel Summers settled in the south-east part of the town, 
James Crooks, in the northern part, a little west of Canaseraga, 
a Mr. Mills, in the western part, and a Mr. Fry, near Burns 
pillage, at a very early day. Among the first settlers were the Mc- 
Curdys, Slaters and Wilsons, and among those who came a little 
later were the Whitneys and Carpenters. Henry Leonard 
imoved in from Towanda, Pa,, with his family, consisting of his 
;svife and five children, (two girls and three boys,) in 1809, and 
settled at Canaseraga, where two of the sons are still living, and 
where he remained till his death. Joseph Leonard, who is liv- 
ng on the farm his father took up, has held the office of justice 
>f the peace for the last forty-two years. Horatio Tilden, from 
Avon, Livingston Co., and Alvah Cruttenden, from Leroy, 
^jenesee Co., settled in 1815, the former east of the center, on 
ot 25, and the latter in the western part, where he took up a 
arge farm, on which one of his sons lives, and on which he 

it.

spent the rest of his life. Wm. Miller, from Avon, Livingston 
Co., settled in the south part about 1816, and died there. He 
cut a road for over a mile to reach his land. Nathaniel Bennett, 
from Vermont, settled in the northern part in 1817. He 
brought with him his wife, four sons (one of whom was lost on the 
way) and two daughters. They made the journey with horst-s 
and wagons. One of his sons (Daniel W. ) still lives on the old 
homestead. Samuel Whipple and Ezra Whitney moved ia 
from Vermont in 1818. Whipple settled at Canaseraga, and 
the next year put up a framed house,* in the northern part of 
the village. Wiiituey came in with a somewhat numerous 
family, two of his sons being married, and took up a large tract 
of land in the locality of Garwood Station. Stephen Mundy 
came in from Middlesex Co., N. J., in 1819, and purchased 500 
acres of land in the western part of the town, on which he 
settled. He says the town was very heavily timbered, oak, pine 
and hemlock prevailing in the eastern part. The first birth in 
town was that of Lewis W. Carroll, Aug. 1, 1807 ; the first 
marriage, that of John Gregory and Betsy Doty; and the first 
deaths, those of Jeremiah and Samuel Gregory, twin brothers, 
who were killed by the fall of a tree, the former April 4, 1812, 
and the latter Sept. 17th of the same year. The first school was 
taught in 1810, in a log school house one-half mile west of 
Canaseraga, by David Crooks. The first hotel was kept at 
Burns village in 1826, by Simeon D. Drown, so says Joseph 
Leonard ; while Stephen Mundy says it was probably kept by 
Oliver Carpenter, in a log house situated about half a mile east 
of Canaseraga. The first store was kept in 1828, by Isaac N. 
Town, on the site of the Pelton House, in Canaseraga village. 
The first grist mill was built in 1810 by Daniel Shull, It was 
located on Canaseraga Creek, one mile below Canaseraga. The 
first saw mill, says Joseph Leonard, was built (in 1813) on 
Canaseraga Creek, two miles west of Canaseraga, by David Mc- 
Curdy; while Christopher Boylan, who is considered excellent 
authority, says it was built in the same locality, by Ezra 
Whitney. 

The first religious services were held by the Methodists at the house of 
Moses Gregory, in 1806, and were conducted by Robert Parker. 

The First Baptist Church of Canaseraga was organized in 1810, by Rev. 
Jesse Braman, the first paslor. Their house of worship was erected ia 
1856, at a cost of $3,000. It will seat 300 persons. The Society, number- 
ing sixty-six, is under the pastoral care of Rev. Colwill Townsend, and its 
property is valued at $4,000. [^Information furnished by Mr. Joseph Leon-

nection with Rev. John Spinks, is the present one. The church edifice 
was erected in 1861-2. It cost $600 and will seat 300 persons. There are 
thirty members. The Church property is valued at $1,000. [Information 
furnished by Mr. Joseph Flint.] 

The M. E. Church, at Burns Station, was organized with about six mem- 
bers, by Rev. Mr. Bliven, the first pastor, about 1859, and the church 
edifice, which will seat 200 persons, was erected in 1871, at a cost of 
$2,000, the piesent value of the Church property. The Society numbers 
twenty-one, and is und' r the spiritual tutelage of Rev. J, Spinks. {Infor- 
mation furnished by Mr. M. McMaster.] 

The First Presbyterian Church of Canaseraga was organized with thir- 
teen members, Oct. 26, 1872, by Rev. J. H. Board, the first and present 
pastor, and bur informant. The Society consists of twenty-one members. 
They have no house of worship. 

Trinity Church, (Protestant Episcopal) at Canaseraga, was organized 
with ten members, in 1853, by Rev. John E. Battin and Lloyd Windsor, 
the former of whom was the first pastor. The church edifice, which will 
seat 350 persons, was erected in 1864-5, at a cost of $3,700. The Society 
consists of ninety members, and is under the pastoral care of Rev. E. 
E. Chamberlain, our mformant. The Church property is valued at $8,500. 
It has sometimes had two missions, atOssian and Garwood Station, and 
has seldom failed to supply the services of the Church at Ossian more or 
less regularly. 

CANEAJDEA was formed from Angelica, March 11, 1 SOS- 
Friendship was taken off March 24, 1815 ; Rushford, March 8' 
1816 ; and Orrinsburgh, (now Belfast,) March 24, 1824. A part 
was annexed to Belfast in 1831. The first town meeting was 
held at the house of Jedediah Nobles, April 5, 1808, and the 
following named officers were elected : Wm. Pinkerton, Super- 
visor ; Isaac Sanford, Town Clerk ; David ISanford, Asa Hurris 
and John Higgins, Assessors; Simon Gates, Squire Haskell and 
James Rice, Commissioners of Highways ; James Sanford, Con- 
stable and Collector; Ezra Sanford and Elisha Chamberlain, 
Overseers of the Poor. 

It is an interior town, lying north-west of the center of the 
county, and contains 21,950 acres. The surface is divided into 
two ridges by Genesee River, which flows north through the 
central part, and receives Caneadea, Houghton and Crawford* 
creeks from the west. Upon Caneadea Creek is a valuable 
stone quarry. The soil upon the highlands is a gravelly and 
clayey loam, and in the valleys a gravelly loam and alluvium. 
The valley of the Genesee is highly productive and is well 
adapted to grain raising. The town generally is best adapted 

* Named from Crawford, who Is reputed to be the first settler upon it. He 

came from the Susquehanna country in Pennsylvania, in 1805, bringing his family 
with an ox team, «nd took up 100 acres of land one and one-half miles above the 
mouth of the creek. He died March 29, 1869, aged 89 years and 9 months. His sons 
Lyndes and Harry, the former of whom was bom in this town in 1811, and the latter 
in 1819, are living in the town of Belfast.

to grazing and most of the farmers are engaged in dairying. 
The Genesee Valley Canal passes through the town west of the 
Genesee. 

The southern part of Caneadea Reservation lies in the north 
part of the town, upon both sides of the river. The oid council 
house stood upon the east bank of the river, on lot 39. An old 
Indian orchard still marks the locality. 

In June, 1811, October, 1817, and October 20, 1835, the valley 
of the Genesee was visited by severe floods, which swept away 
mills and other buildings, produce and even stock. 

The population of the town in 1870 was 1,869; of whom 
1683 were native, 186, foreign, 1822, white and 47, colored. 

Oramel, (p. V.) situated on the Genesee River and Genesee 
Valley Canal, in the south part of the town, was incorporated 
June 9, 1856, and contains, two churches, five stores, one hotel, 
an iron foundry, a steam saw mill, a shingle mill, harness shop, 
wagon shop, two blacksmith shops and about 450 inhabitants. 
The census of 1870 gives it a population of 289. 

Elijah F. Johnson'' s Steam Saw Mill, located about one half 
mile north of Oramel, gives employment to about fifteen men 
and annually manufactures about 1,500,000 feet of lumber. 

Caneadea, (p. v.) situated on Genesee River and the Genesee 
Valley Canal, a little west of the center of the town, and at 
the mouth of Caneadea Creek, contains one church, (M. E.) 
four stores, two hotels, a shingle mill, cheese factory, harness 
shop, wagon shop, three blacksmith shops and about 400 inhabit- 
ants. The census of 1870 gives it a population of 236. 

HouGHTOJS" Creek, (p. o.) is a hamlet situated on the creek 
of the same name and the Genesee Valley Canal, in the north- 
west part of the town. 

Settlement was commenced about 1800, by a Mr. Schoonover, 
from Pennsylvania, who located about two miles below Canea- 
dea village, on lot 8. Ephraim Sanford and Zephaniah Huff, 
from the town of Wiyne, Steuben Co., came in 1802 and ex- 
plored the country bordering upon the east bank of the Gene- 
see from near the transit line in Angelica to Portage, ^vhere 
they crossed the river and continued their explorations along 
the west shore up to the point where they first struck it. They 
then returned to their homes. Huff returned the following 
year and built a log house and planted some corn ; and in the 
fall, after harvesting the latter, he put it in the chamber of his 
house and returned home for his family, which he moved in in 
February, 1804. He settled on the opposite side of the river 
from Caneadea, on lot 11. Sanford also returned in 1803, 
bringing with him from the same county, in addition to Huff,

eighteen others, for which he got his land cheaper. He was a 
Baptist minister, and settled at Oraniel, where he was the first 
to locate. His sons Ezra and Ephraim Jr., the former of whom 
accompanied him, located the same year, Ezra about three- 
fourths of a mile south of Orarnel, and Ephraim on the 
river about a mile below Caneadea. Betsy Sanford, daughter 
of Ezra Sanford, who was born in April, 1804, was the first 
child born in the town. The names of the remaining seven- 
teen who came in with Mr. Sanford and the localities in which 
they settled are: Samuel Crawford, on lot 16 ; John Ripenbark, 
on lot 15 ; Daniel Ripenbark, on lot 14; Adam Ripenbark, on 
lot 13; Wm. C. HufF, on lot 12; Jacob Rickey and Ephraim 
Wanzer, on lot 10; James Smith, on lot 9; Elisha Alderman, 
on lot 8 ; Ziba Huff, on lot 7 ; Samuel Lane, on lot 6 ; Stephen 
Vandermark, on lot 5 ; Loren Francis, (originally from Mass.,) 
on lot 4 ; Job Phillips, on lot 3 ; Wm. Pinkerton, a little south 
of Oramel ; and David Sanford and Squire Haskins. Many 
of these returned to their homes in Steuben Co. after locating 
their lands, some to bring in their families, and settled per- 
manently at a later day. James Rice and Timothy Hitch- 
cock, from Bain bridge, Chenango Co., settled at Caneadea vil- 
lage in 1804, and were the first to locate there. Rice built the 
first house — a log structure — on the site of the village. Hitch- 
cock took up a farm and worked on it till November, when he 
went back to his home. The following February he returned 
with his family, and spent the rest of his life on the same farm. 
Wm. Atherton, originally from Pennsylvania, came in 1805 
from Steuben Co., where he had resided the year previous, and 
settled about a mile north of Caneadea. He remained about a 
year, then sold out and removed to Cattaraugus Co. In 1814 
he again removed to this town and settled across the river from 
Oramel, where he remained till he died. Noah Franklin came 
in from Bainbridge, Chenango Co., about 1805, and settled 
about one and one-half miles north of Caneadea. Arad and 
David Hitchcock, also from Bainbridge, settled in the central 
part of the town about 1806 or '07. They built the first card- 
ing machine in town, at Caneadea. Daniel Dodge settled on 
the river, in the northern part, about 1809 or '10. Major Alanson 
Burr, a native of Vermont, came in from Bainbridge about 
1810, and settled on the river, one mile below Caneadea. Being 
drafted during the war of 1812, he went to Batavia and obtained 
a substitute. When he returned home his wife was gone and a 
crotched stick was placed against the door, which denoted that 
the Indians had taken care of her. They took her off upon 
the hills, fearing that the Canada Indians would invade the 
country after the burning of Buffalo. Eleazer Burbank, from 



78 CANEADEA. 



Vermont, settled in the southern part, near Oramel, in 1812 ; 
and George P. Ketch um, from Pennsylvania, in the same 
locality, about that year. Hiram Gray, from Pennsylvania, 
settled in the southern part about 1814; and Samuel Hunt, 
from Vermont, about 1815, John Hoyt, from Windsor, Vt., 
settled at Caneadea in 1816, and the same year he erected at the 
mouth of Caneadea Creek the first saw mill in town. Simon 
Wilson settled in the central part of the town the same year. 
He was born and brought up in Windsor, Vt., and at the age of 
about twenty-three years he removed thence to the town of 
Eushford in this county, where he lived two years. He moved 
in with two yokes of oxen and was three weeks on the road. 
Luther Houghton with his family, consisting of his wife and 
five children, (four sons and one daughter.) settled near the 
river, in the north-west part of the town, in 1817. They cnme 
from the town of Centerville, where they had lived six years, 
but were originally from the town of Linden, Caledonia Co., 
Vt. Mr. Houghton remained on the farm he took up in this 
town the rest of his life. Loren, his son, who came with him, 
still lives on the old homestead and has the last fifty-seven 
years. Cyrus H. Clement, from Windsor, Vt., settled at 
Caneadea the same year (1817.) He worked at carpenter work 
a short time and ran a saw mill. Joshua Wilson and his sons, 
(Simon, Freeman S. and Lewis.) from Rushford, settled in the 
southern part of the town, John Kenyon, in the north-western 
part, and Angus Mcintosh, from Schenectady, in the southern 
part, about 1817. The Wilsons were originally from Ver iiont, 
and had resided in Rushford about three years previous to their 
removal here. Henry Herrick, from Windsor Co., Vt., settled 
about two miles north of Caneadea in 1818. Alpheus Easta- 
brook, also from Vermont, but immediately from the town of 
Centerville, settled in the north-western part of the town the 
same year, when only fourteen years old. His father, Benjamin 
Eastabrook, moved in from the same town about two years 
later, and settled in the same locality. The family was origin- 
ally from Vermont, and had lived but a short time in Center- 
vilie. Daniel Ingersoll, from Pennsylvania, settled in the 
northern part of the town in 1819. Asa Harris settled near 
the central part at an early day, and built the first framed 
barn in the town. He also taught the first school near the 
center in 1811. Ezra Sanford probably built the first framed 
house in the town. Loren Houghton says that John Smith 
built the first grist mill in town, on Caneadea Creek ; and 
Alpheus Eastabrook, that it was erected at Caneadea, about 
18::i4, by Arad Hitchcock, James Rawson and Timothy Rice. 
The first tannery was built about a mile and a half below 



CANEA.DEA—CENTERVILLE. 79 

Caneadea, by James Colwell. The first hotel was kept at the 
center, in 1810, by Lucretia Radley, a widow lady from Pennsyl- 
vania. The first store was kept at Caneadea, about 1825, by 
Joseph Waldo. 

The first religious services were held by Rev. Ephraim Sanford at his 
own house in Oramel, in 1804. 

The German M. E. Churchy located in the eastern past of the town, was 
organized with about thirty members, in 1853, by Rev. F. W. Deuger, the 
first pastor ; and the church edifice, which will seat 150 persons, was 
erected in 1857, at a cost of $1250. The Society numbering about forty- 
five, is under the pastoral care of Rev. F. Rye, and its property is valued 
at $1500. [^Infoi'mation furnished iy Mr. Christopher Archer.'] 

CENTER VILLE was formed from Pike, (Wyoming Co.,) 
Jan, 15, 1819. The first town ofiicery were: Jesse Bnllock, 
Supervisor; Alfred Forbes, Town Clerk; Zaccheus Spencer and 
Edward Crowell, Overseers of the Poor ; Strong Warner, Benj. 
Blanchard and Mark S. White, Assessors; Mark Blanchard, 
Nathaniel Moore and Abraham Dayton, Commissioners of High- 
ways ; Calvin Cass and Jesse Hadley, Constables; Calvin Cass, 
Collector; Benj. Weaver, Simeon Forbes and David Smith, 
School Commissioners; Jesse Bullock, Alfred Forbes and Alvin 
Cass, School Inspectors; and Perkins B. Woodward, Pound- 
Keeper. From the town records we learn that in 1819 the town 
contained six hotels and forty-eight voters. This great dis- 
parity between the number of hotels and inhabitants might 
seem anomalous if unexplained by the accompanying fact that 
they were needed to accommodate the great number of emi- 
grants who were at that time seeking western homes by this 
route. 

The town lies in the north-west corner of the county and 
contains 22,000 acres. The surface is a moderately hilly upland, 
drained by Six Town Creek and its branches and numerous 
smaller streams. The soil is a heavy clay loam. 

The Rochester & State Line R. R. crosses the north-west 
corner of the town. 

The population in 1870 was 1043 ; of whom 912 were native 
131, foreign and all, except one, white. 

Centerville (p. 0.) is centrally located and contains two, 
churches, one hotel, three stores, one match factory, one cheese 
factory, two wagon shops, three blacksmith shops and some 
sixty-five dwellings. The population in 1870 was 167. 

Lamberson Cheese Factory^ located at Centerville village, 
received in 1873, 2,725,322 pounds of milk. The amount 
received for cheese made the same year was $34,817.38. 

We extract from an article in the Allegany County Advocate of 



8 CENTER VILLE. 



April 2, 1869, the following relative to the first settlement in 
this town : — 

" The pioneer of Centerville was Joseph Maxson. * * * He left his 
native place, (Otsego Co.,) when but 18 years old, and arrived at Pike in 
April, 18(18. Two cents in money, a few articles of provision and cloth- 
ing, constituted the worldly wealth of the young adventurer. He took a 
pair of new shoes from his feet, bartered them for an ax. and pushed into 
the wilderness, miles from any habitation. Selecting his land in the town 
of Centerville, he erected a rude shanty ; and to supply bed and bed- 
ing, peeled basswood bark, using one piece to separate himself from the 
cold ground, and another for covering. Snow fell to the depth of six 
inches, after he had fixed himself in his new and lonely forest home. 
Here he spent eight months solitary and alone. A note was made on the 
book of the land office, that he had five acres cleared July 23, 1808, at 
which date he had his land ' booked ' to him, paying nothing down. It is 
presumed that he had only chopped the timber down, and burned the 
brush, as he could not, in that time, have cleared the land entirely. He 
raised the first season, a few bushels of corn and potatoes, and in the fall 
sowed two acres of wheat. Success attended the extraordinary efforts of 
the young pioneer. He became an early tavern keeper, * * * and the 
owner of a large, well improved farm, which he afterwards sold and went 
to Wisconsin. He has preserved as relics of his early advent into the 
wilderness, the ax that he got in exchange for bis shoes, one of the cents 
mentioned, one kernel of the seed corn he procured to plant in 1808, and 
an old wooden fan with which he cleaned the first wheat raised in the 
town of Centerville." 

James Ward settled in the town in the fall of 1808; and 
Calvin P. Perry, from Berkshire Co., Mass., settled near Maxson 
in 1800. The next settlers were Abraham and David Jolatt, 
brothers. They were followed by Zaccheus, Thomas and Strong 
Warner and Perkins B. Woodward, from Ashford, Conn., who 
located a little north of the center, and Sargent Morrell, from 
Vermont, who settled in the south part of the town, in 1810. 
Benjamin Blanchard, also from Vermont, settled on lot 25, in 
1811. Mrs. Adaline Straight, who is now living in the town of 
Willing, was born in this town June 1, 1811. She lived here 
with her parents eleven years, when she removed to the town of 
Wellsville, and subsequently to Willing. John and Samuel 
Leach, from Vermont, settled on lot 26, in 1812. The first 
birth and death in the town were those of Calvin P. Perry, iu 
June, 1809. The first marriage was that of Wm. Foy and 
Ruth Morrill, in 1811. The first school was taught in the win- 
ter of 1813-'14, by Perkins B. Woodward. The first framed 
house was built by a Mr. Carpenter. The first framed barn was 
built by James Ward, who also planted the first orchard. The 
first saw mill was erected on Six Town Creek, in 1813, by Mark 
Blanchard and Eber Hotchkiss; and the first grist mill, on the 
same stream, in 1817, by Russell Higgins and Packard Bruce. 
The first inn was kept at the center, iu 1810, by a Mr. Thatcher ;

and the first store, at the same place, in 1820 by Sparrow 
Smith. The first physician was Calvin Cass. 

The first religious services were held by the Baptists and were conduct- 
ed by Rev. John Griffith. 

The First Presbyterian Church, at Centerville, (the first formed in the 
town,) was organized with fourteen members, July 25, 18'<i4, by Rev. Silas 
Hubbard, the first pastor, and the church edifice, which will seat 240 per- 
sons, was erected in 1859, at a cost of $2,000, the present value of Church 
property. The Church has thirty-two members, but no pastor. [Infor- 
mationfurnisJied by Mr. A. L. Barnum ] 

The M. E. Church, at Centerville, was organized with thirteen members, 
in June, 1842, by Rev Chas D. Birmingham, the first pastor, and the 
church edifice, which will seat 175 persons, was erected in 1844, at a cost 
of $l,00'>, one-half the present value of Church property. {Information 
furnished by Mr L. L. Wheat.} 

Fairview Church, (Congregational,) in the south-west corner of the town, 
was organized in 1846, by Rev. John T. Edwards. Their first house of 
worship was erected in 1851 ; and the present one, which will seat 100 
persons, in 1865, at a cost of about $900, the present value of Church 
property. The first pastor was Rev. David Jenkins ; the present one is 
Rev. W . B Roberts. There are thirty members. [Information furnislied

CLARKSVILLE was formed from Cuba, May 11, 1835, 
and was named in compliment to S. N. Clark, an agent of the 
Holland Land Company. It lies upon the west border of the 
county, south of the center, and contains 22,805 acres. The sur- 
face is a mountainous upland, divided into several steep ridges 
by the narrow valleys of the streams. The highest summits are 
700 to 1,000 feet above the canal at Cuba. Dodges and Wolf 
creeks, both of which rise in the town and flow in a south- 
westerly direction, are the principal streams. The soil is 
principally a heavy clay loam. Considerable pine lumber is 
still manufactured in the town. 

The Rochester, Nunda & Pennsylvania R. R. crosses the 
north-wesc corner of the town. 

The population of the town in 1870 was 784; of whom 762 
were native, 22, foreign and all, except two, white. 

Clarksville Center, (West Clarksville p. o.) centrally 
located, on Dodges Creek, contains one church, (Baptist) one 
store, two blacksmith shops, one cooper shop, a cheese factory, 
a steam saw mill, a water-power saw mill, a shoe shop and 
several dwellings. 

North Clarksville is a hamlet in the north-west part. 

Clarksville Center Cheese Factory was erected in 1867, by Anson 
Congdon, the present proprietor, and manufactures 145,000 
pounds of cheese per annum.

CLARESVILLE. 



Clorksville Steam Saw Mill was buiit in 1853, by Joseph P. 
Slayton, as a water-power mill, on the site of a mill erected in 
1828, by Joseph Palmer, and was converted into a steam power 
mill in 1873. It is owned by Joseph Slayton & Son, and is 
capable of sawing about two millions feet of lumber per 
annum. 

Ryder's Water-Power Sa%v Mill, located on Wolf Creek, in the 
south west part of the town, was built by W. B. Ryder in 1855, 
and is sawing about 300,000 feet of lumber per annum. 

Clarksville Center Cemetery Association was established in 
1870. The grounds cover three-fourths of an acre. The trus- 
tees are, J. R. Peckham, Prentice Peckham, Joel Gillett, J. H. 
Whiteman and Martin Butts. 

Settlement was commenced in 1822, by John and Horatio 
Slayton, who came from Warsaw, Wyoming Co., and located a 
little south of the center of the town. They cut a road from 
Cuba to their place of settlement. Joseph Palmer settled near 
the center March 13th of the same year, and in 1826 built the 
first saw mill in the town. John Murray settled at Clarksville 
Center in 1824. He remained there till his death in 1857, and 
cleared several hundred acres. James McDuugal, from Steuben 
Co., settled a little east of the center, and Jahez Lurvey, near 
the same place, in 1827. Anson Congdon, from Otsego Co., 
settled one mile west of the center in 1835, and has been 
engaged principally in lumbering and farming. He served two 
terms in the State Assembly, as supervisor of the town four- 
teen years, as county superintendent nine years, as revenue col- 
lector four years, at^.d as justice of the peace fourteen years. 
The first birth was that of Joseph P. Slayton, in 1822 ; the first 
marriage, that of Van Rensselaer Delivan and Harriet Palmer, 
in 1827; and the first death, that of Mrs. Sally Olds, in 1831. 
The first school was taught by Maria McDougal, east of the 
center, in 1827. The first inn was kept by Daniel S. Carpenter, 
near the center, in 1828. 

The first religious services were held by the Methodists at the house of 
Nelson Hoyt, under the direction of Rev. Mr. Cole, from Friendship, in 
1828. 

The First Baptist Church, at Clarksville Center, (the first formed in th® 
town) was organized with about forty members in 1848, by Kev Holden 
E. {'rosser, the first pastor ; and the church edifice, which will seat 300 
persons, was erected in 1855, at a cost of about $3,000. The Society, 
numbering eiglity, is under the pastoral care of Rev. Chas. W. Bruce, 
and its property is valued at $8,000. [Information furnished by Deacon 
Martin Butts.] 

The United Bref^iren in Christ Church, in the south part of the town, was 
organized with seven members, in 1861, by Rev. S. H Smith. They erect- 
ed their house of worship in 1868, at a cost of $1700. It will seat 300

persons. The first pastor was N. R. Luce ; the present one is Rev. John 
\V. Clark. The Society numbers sixty-eight. The Church property is 
valued at $2,000. [Information far niihedby Mr. Daniel Lowe.'] 

CUBA was formed from Friendship, Feb. 4, 1822. Genesee 
was taken off April 16, 1830, and Clarksville, May 11, 1835. 
It lies upon the west border of the county, a little south of the 
center, and contains 22 150 acres. The surface is a broken and 
mountainous upland, divided into irregular ridges by steep and 
narrow valleys. The summits of the highest hills are 600 to 
800 feet above the level of the canal, which is here 1485 feet 
above tide. Oil Creek and its branches form the principal 
drainage. In the west part of this town is the oil spring from 
which was obtained. " immense quantities " of the celebrated 
Seneca Oil, which, at an early day, was considered remarkably 
efficacious in the cure of cutaneous imd other diseases. It is 
located on a mile square lying mainly in this town, but partly 
in the town of Ischua, Cattaraugus Co., and known as Oil 
Creek Reservation, which was reserved by the Sereca Indians 
from the early sales of tiieir lands in this vicinity. "It is," 
says French, "a dirty pool, 20 feet in diameter, and has no out- 
let. The water is mixed with bitumen, which collects upon its 
surface." More recent explorations for oil have been made at 
great expense. Good building stone has been found in several 
localities. The soil is a clayey and gravelly loam, best adapted 
to grazing. 

The Genesee Valley Canal enters the town near the center of 
the north border and extends in a south-westerly direction to 
the vicinity of North Cuba, where it enters the narrow valley 
of Oil Creek, which it follows to the center of the west border, 
deflecting to the west at Cuba village. Oil Creek Reservoir, in 
the north-west corner of the town, was constructed at a cost of 
$150,000, to feed the summit level of the canal. It is sixty 
feet high, and by the construction of a dam across Oil Creek, 
it raises a pond covering an area of 500 acres, which finds an 
out-let near its head, so that no water runs over the dam. Its 
capacity when full is estimated to be equal to 200 miles of 
canal. 

The Erie R. R. extends in a narrow valley through the cen- 
tral part of the town, from east to west. The Rochester, Nunda 
(k Pennsylvania R. K. crosses the west part of the town in a 
southerly direction, following the canal to Cuba village, where 
it crosses the Erie road. 

The population in 1870 was 2397; of whom 2186 were native, 
211, foreign, 2357, white and 40, colored.

in the county, being 58 by ^'Z feet, a fire engine, of which E. R. 
Nash is foreman, a cornet band, of which F. W. Streeter is 
leader, and a population of about 1500. It contains also many 
other minor industrial establishments of various kinds. 

North Cuba, (Seymour p. o.) (formerly known as Cadytown, 
from Stephen Cady, an early settler there,) is situated on Oil 
Creek, about two miles north of Cuba, and contains one hotel, 
a grocery, a blacksmith shop and a number of dwellings. The 
name of the post-office was given in honor of Horatio Seymour, 
who was then Governor of the State. 

Cuba Summit is a station on the Erie R. R. in the east part. 

Rice Cheese Factory, located in the south-east part of the 
town, was built in 1868, by H. & W. W. Rice and I. B. Cole, 
and is making 150,000 pounds of cheese per annum. 

Amsden Cheese Factory, located in the north east corner of the 
town, was built as a branch factory in 1871. Additions have 
been made which make it complete in itself. 

Settlement was commenced in 1812, by Salmon Abbott, from 
Luzerne Co., Pa., who located near the reservoir which feeds 
the Summit level of the Genesee Valley Canal, where he died 
May 5, i863. John Bennett, Andrew Hawley and Stephen 
Cole, and two others named Freer and Hall, from Conn., came 
about the same time. Samuel H. Morgan, from near Windsor, 
Vt., moved to the town of Rushford with an ox team in 1810, 
and in 1815 to the north-west part of this town, where he re- 
mained the rest of his life. Gen. Calvin T. Chamberlain settled 
about two miles from the village of Cuba in 1816, and in 1817 
built the first saw mill in the town. In the latter vear James 



CDBA. 85 

Strong purchased the land embraced in the village of Cuba. 
Isaac Sibley, from Worcester Co., Mass., settled about one and 
one-lburth miles north of Cuba village in 1819, having pre- 
viously stopped in Friendship for two years. Judge John 
Griflin located in Cuba in 1820, and purchased the laud embrac- 
ing the site of that village. " The Judge was a man of more 
than ordinary intellect; generous, enterprising and public 
spirited; tall, fearless and possessed of unusual muscular 
power. He was elected Senator from the Eighth Senatorial 
District, about the year 1834, and was for a number of years 
(»ne of the Judges of this county. He died in Cuba in 1845." 
In 1832, Stephen Smith purchased the laud of Judge Griffin, 
and Gen. Chamberlain erected a public house and opened a 
small mercantile establishment. This was the commencement 
of Cuba village. In 1824, James and John Jordan, brothers, 
and Eobert Campbell and his son Rufus R. Campbell, all from 
Otsego Co., settled in the town. The Jordans came in March 
and located about three miles south of Cuba village, where 
James remained till his death in 1871. John Jordan removed 
to the north part of the town in the spring of 1867, and died 
there the following fall. The Campbells were from Cherry 
Valley, and located in the north-east part of the town. Hiram 
Abbott removed from Pompey Hill, Onondaga Co., to this town 
about 1824, and taughtschool here. The next year he removed 
to Amity, and in 1868, to Hinsdale, Cattaraugus Co., where he 
still resides. Theodore Halstead, moved in from Saratoga Co. 
in 1825. John Coller, from Susquehanna Co., Pa., settled in 
the south-east part of the town, on the place now occupied by 
his son Wm., in 1827, where he spent the remainder of his life. 
Israel Webster, a native of Cortland Co., moved in from Madi- 
son Co. in 1828, and settled on lot 15. In 1865 he removed to 
lot 41, in the town of New Hudson, where he has since resided. 
David S. German, from Chenango Co., settled in the south-east 
part of the town in 1828, and remained there till about 1843, 
when he removed to Wisconsin. Jeremiah Bebee, from Yates 
Co., settled about two miles west of Cuba village in 1829. 
Samuel S. Ayers, a native of Newton, Sussex Co., N. J., settled 
one and one-half miles south of the village in 1830, and is still 
living on the place he then settled. The tirst death was that of 
Andrew Hull. The first school was taught by David Row, in 
1822. The first inn was kept by Stephen Cole, near the center, 
in 1814, and the first store in 1821 or '22, by King & Graves. 
The first grist mill was built by Jacob Baldwin and Stephen 
Cady, on Oil Creek, about two miles from the village in 1822. 
It may be interesting to our readers to know that in the 
village of Cuba lives a centenarian — Abner Huntley — who on

the 4th of August, 1874, was 108 years old. He walks around 
the village and rides on horseback. 

The first religious services were held by Kev. Robert Hnbbard, in 1818, 
and the first Church was formed by the Baptists in 1824. The first set- 
tlers in this town, says Hotchkin, in his History of Wentern New York, "are 
said to have been loose in principle and practice;" but "were followed by 
others in 1819 and 1820, some, of whom were pious." "Methodist and 
and Baptist preachers followed" Mr. Hubbard, who was a Presbyterian, 
'"and occasionally preached in the place. But irreligion greatly prevailed, 
and regular public worship was not established till 1827." In speaking of 
the advent of Mr. Hubbard, he says: "As characteristic of the man, it is 
said that he came with his portmanteau filled with crackers and other 
comfortables for a sick woman, a disciple of Jesus, at the house where he 
preached." 

The SecoJid Baptist Church of Cuba, was organized with twenty-two mem-

it is an interior town, lying a little south-west of the center 
of the county, and contains 23,760 acres. The surface is broken 
by high, mountainous ridges, the summits of which are 600 to 
800 feet above the valleys. It is drained by Van Campeus 
Creek and its branches. The soil is a clay and gravelly loam. 

The Erie R. R. extends diagonally through the central part 
of the town, in the valley of Van Campens Creek. 

The population of the town in 1870 was 1528 ; of whom 1460 
were native, 68, foreign and all, except one, white. 

Friendship, (p. v.) situated a little south of the center of 
the town, on Van Campens Creek and the Erie R, R., contains 
four churches, the Friendship Academy, the Baxter University, 
of Music, a newspaper office, (the Friendship Register, Y>^hY\%\\edi 
weekly by R. R. Helme,) one bank, two flouring mills, a shingle 
mill, employing three men and making 7,000 shingles per 
day, several saw mills, and had, in 1870, a population of 474. 

Friendship Academy was established in 1849 and opened the 
same year. The faculty numbers five. It has been under the 
care of Prof. Prosper Miller since 1854, with the exception of 
four years. The building contains five recitation rooms, a 
room for the library and apparatus, and a large hall in the 
third story. The value of the building and grounds is $5,000 ; 
of apparatus, $560; and of the library, $250. 

Baxter University of Music. — We copy from the Catalogue of 
this Institution the following description of it : — 

"[It] was first opened for the reception of students, March 15, 1853, under 
the name of 'Baxter's Music Itooms.' In 1858 it was enlarged, and the 
name changed to 'Baxter's Musical Institute.' In 1861 it was ag; in en- 
larged, the named being changed to ' Baxter's Institute of Music ' In 
1806 more building, were added, and the name 'Allegany Academy of 
Music' was given it. March 17, 1870, the present name was adopted ; the 
processes of the institution having been developed from its inception to 
its present magnitude, by and under the exclusive guidance and control 
of the individual whose name it bears. 

"At first the entire stock of operative material consisted in two rented 
rooms, one Piano, one Violin, a Flute and a Bugle. It now — 1874 — con- 
sists of an entire set of buildings constructed expressly for it, containing 
a large hall, a reception room, reading room, class rooms, practice rooms, 
oflace, store and publishing room, and is amply provided with instruments 
of all kinds, for Church, Parlor, Brass Band and Orchestra. 

"The processes of the Institution are comprised in four general Depart- 
ments— SACRED, SECULAR, ORCHESTRA and BRASS BAND MUSIC. 



gg FRIENDSHIP. 



"Each Department includes two courses — Preparatory and 
Academic. Each of these being a concrete course of Theory, Voice 
and Instrument, combining the exercise of the mental, aesthetical and 
executive faculties, and blending them in a perfectly symmetrical educa- 
tion, — enabling the student to read, write and speak, in an elegant manner, 
the language of Music. 

"The College course comprises a study of the means, methods and forms 
employed in the classical compositions of the best masters. 

The buildings and equipments cost $16,000. Sixty students 
can be accommodated. The average number of students in 
attendance is fifty. One hundred and twenty students have 
been graduated. The instructors are laboring sedulously to 
advance musical art and develope the true theory of musical 
culture. 

The First National Bank of Friendship was organized Feb. 1, 
1(S64, with a capital of $75,000. The origiual organization 
consisted of George W. Robinson, President ; Asher W. Miner, 
Vice-President ; Atiijah J, Wellman, Cashier; George W. Robin- 
son, Asher W. Miner, Abijah J. Wellman, Hugh J. Wellman, 
Wm. Colwell, Wm. H. King, Ira D. Hartshorn, Morris C. Mul-

AUegnny Lodge No. 225 F. tf; A. M. was organized as Allegany 
Lodge No. 373, and re-organized June 18, 1851. It consists of 
ninety-nine members, and meets the first and third Saturdays of 
each month. 

Nile, (p. o.) situated on the south-branch of Van Campens 
Creek, in the south part of the town, contains a church, two 
stores, a harness shop, shoe shop, blacksmith shop, carriage 
shop, cheese factory and fifty dwellings. H. G. Higgins' steam 
mill, located in the east part of the town, contains four circular 
saws, gives employment to five to seven persons, and is capable 
of sawing 10,000 feet of lumber, 10,000 to 15,000 shingles and 
7,000 lath per day. 

Settlement was commenced in Nov. 1806, by Richard Friar, 
from Kingston, Ulster Co. John Harrison and Simeon and 
Zebulon Gates settled in the town in June, 1807. Peter Frier 
and Henry Utter, the latter from Delaware Co., came in 1808; 
and Aaron Axtell, and John and Josiah Utter, from Otsego 
Co., in 1809, J<»siah Utter was father of Judge Josiah Utter, 
and he and Axwell were the first settlers on the south branch 
of Van Campens Creek. At this time, in addition to those 



FRIENDSHIP. 89 



named, settlements had been made by Elisha Strong, John 
Higgins, Edward Brines, Lemuel Huskins, Samuel Wardell and 
Wni. Burnett. The nearest postofficeand mill were at Angelica, 
a distance of twelve miles, and the nearest neighbor south, says 
Mr. J. J. Stebbins, was John King, a mile and a half beyond 
Ceres, and no road between them. A few years later a road was 
cut by Mr, King as far as Nile. In August, 1809, a freshet 
flooded the flats and destroyed the crops, so that there was no 
breadstuff" raised. The settlers were obliged to go to Dansville 
to procure flour for their subsistence. Josiah Utter says he has 
been to the town of Leicester, Livingston Co., a distance of 
forty miles, on horse-back, for corn. Adam Ren wick came 
in from Geneva, Ontario Co,, in 1810. Ambrose Willard 
came from Massachusetts in 1812, Daniel Crabtree, from 
Amsterdam, Montgomery Co., came in about 1813 and resided 
here twenty-four years, when he removed to the town of Amity, 
where he still lives. Chester Scott, from New Hampshire, and 
Samuel Thomas, from Delaware Co., came in 1814. Ebenzer 
Steenrod, from Delaware Co., came in 1815, and Wm. Niver, 
from the same county, in 1816. Casper Niver was also an early 
settler. Hugh J. Higgins settled in Angelica in 1806, and in 
1818 he removed to this town, to the farm on which he now 
resides. Waitsell and Job Scott, from New Hampshire, and J. J. 
Stebbins, from Columbia Co., came in 1821. Justus Scott, 
also from New Hampshire, settled in 1822, and Rufus Scott, 
probably the same year. Martin Butts, from Vermont, also 
settled here this latter year. He remained two years and then 
removed to the town of Belfast, where he remained six years, 
when he again removed to Friendship, remaining six years, 
after which he removed to Bolivar, and in January, 1843, to 
Clarksvilie, where he has been supervisor — the present making 
the sixth term. Levi W. Pearse and Rev. Chester Coburn were 
settlers of an early day. Pearse moved in from Almond, where 
he had lived four or Ave years, and still lives on the farm settled 
by his father. M r. Coburn was the first to preach in the Baptist 
Church. Wm. Colwell, from Dansville, Livingston Co., was 
also an early settler. D. F. Carnahan, from Chenango Co., came 
in 1827. The first birth in town was that of Sherman Haskins, 
in a sugar camp, in March, 1808; the first marriage, that of 
James Sanford and Sally Harrison, in December, 1809; and the 
first death, that of Hattie Friar, in December, 1806. The first 
school was taught by Pelatiah Morgan, in the winter of 1810-11. 
The first school house, a log structure, was built a little pre- 
vious to 1816, and stood where George Skiff''8 house now is. 
The second school bouse was built where Wm. Townsend's 
barn stands. The first inn was opened in May, 1808, by Simon

Gates, and the first store, in the spring of 1818, by Stephen 
Smith. The first grist mill was built in 1810, by Aaron Axtell 
and his son-in-law, Sylvanus Merriam, who was for many years 
county judge in this county. It stood on the old Merriam 
place, on the south branch creek, about half-way between the 
villages of Friendship and Nile. Col. King, agent of the 
Holland Land Co., built what is now the Baxter grist mill. 
Othello Church, who was murdered by David D. Howe, of 
Angelica, in December, 1823, built one where the "old factory" 
now is. The first saw mill was built in 1815, by Ebenezer 
Steenrod, who also built the first mill for wool carding and 
cloth dressino the following year. The first distillery was built 
by Squire Wardell, on the site of Cosane Thurston's house. The 
first framed building was a barn, erected by Squire Wardell. 

The first religious services were held by Samuel Vary, in July, 1810, in 
a barn which stood on tlie lot now owned by John Van Horn. Occasion- 
al public worship was held at an early day by Rev. Robert Hubbard, a 
Presbyterian, and Rev. Mr. Braman a Baptist; the former of whom formed 
the first Church (Presbyterian) in the spring of 1813. 

The Baptist Church in Friendship was organized July 10, 1822. Elder 
Braman and wife, James Reed, Deacon Sherwin, Jonathan Savage and 
Harry Heyden were the first six members. Mrs. Baxter and Nancy 
McQueen were the first two baptized, by Elder Knapp Samuel King 
joined by letter May 10, 1823; Deacon A. Everets, August 9th, and Deacon 
S. Carter, August 80th of the same year. The present church edifice was 
bui t in 1821, and was aided by a donation of 100 acres of land from the 
Holland Land Co. John Carter had a license from this Church to preach 
and was well known in the capacity of an exhorter twenty-five years ago. 
He now lives at Smith's Mills, in Chautauqua Co. 

The M. E. Church, at Friendship, was organized with about twelve 
members, about 1825 or '26, by John Wiley and Ira Brownson The first 
church edifice was erected in 1829; the present one, which will seat 250 
persons, in 1853, at a cost of $3,000. The first pastor, after the liouse 
Whs built, was Rev. Samuel Woster; the present one is Rev. Enos Smith. 
The Society numbers 150. Thfir property is valued at $7,000. They have 
a parsonage valued at $2,000. [Information furnished by Mr. J. J. Stebbins. 

The First Umversalist Church of FriendsJnp, was organized with thirty 
members in 1854, by Rev. F. M. Alvord, the first pastor, and the church 
edifice, which will seat dOO persons, was erected in 1855, at a cost of 
$2,000, one-half the present value of Church property. The present num- 
ber of members is sixty, and the pastor, Rev. S. T. Aldrich. 

GENESEE was formed from Cuba, April 16, 1830. The 
first town officers were: Benj. Maxson, Supervisor; David 
Maxson, Town Clerk ; John BellJr., Geo. W. Kenyon and Wm. 
Hooker, Assessors; Jabez Burdick, Collector; Horace H. Wil- 
son and Riverious Hooker, Commissioners of Highways ; Joseph 
Maxson and Joseph Wells, Overseers of the Poor ; Joel Crandall, 
Rowland Coon and Edwin Stillman, Commissioners of Common 
Schools; Henry P. Green, Joel Maxson and George W. Kenyon, 



GENESEE. 



Inspectors of Common Schools ; Jabez Burdick, Norry Hooker 
and Daniel Carr, Constables ; James Waterbury, Ethan Kenyon, 
Joel Maxson and John L. Slayton, Justices. 

The town lies in the south-west corner of the county and 
contains 22,905 acres. The surface is very broken and moun- 
tainous, the highest summits being 1,000 to 1,400 feet above 
the valleys. Upon a rounded eminence a little north-east of 
the center of the town is. a locality known as Rock City. It 
consists of a belt of huge masses of conglomerate, covering an 
area of forty acres, which extends from north to south, across 
the summit and down the declivities of the hill. The blocks 
are composed of milk-white pebbles, broken into regular layers, 
and so arranged as to form alleys and streets. The streams are 
Little Genesee, Dodges, Deer, Windfall and Oswayo creeks, all 
of which flow through narrow, mountainous ravines. The soil 
is a sandy and clayey loam. Agriculture is the chief pursuit 
of the inhabitants — dairying being the leading branch of agri- 
culture. Lumbering, though on the wane, is still carried on to 
a considerable extent. We are credibly informed that no license 
has ever been granted in the town of Genesee and that none of 
its inhabitants hare been sent to state prison. It is also asserted 
that none have been sent to the poor house. 

The population in 1870 was 888 ; of whom all, except seven, 
were native, and all, except two, white. 

Little Genesee, (p. o.) situated in the south-east part of the 
town, on the creek of the same name, contains one church, 
(Seventh Day Baptist,) one school, a general store, tavern, 
blacksmith shop, two saw mills, a cider mill, a millinery shop, 
tailor shop, twenty-five dwellings and 80 to 100 inhabitants. 

Ceres, (p. o.) situated on Oswayo Creek, and lying partly in 
this State and partly in Pennsylvania, contains a church, (M. 
E.) hotel, three general stores, one hardware store, a printing 
office, (the Ceres News,) one harness shop, two shoe shops, a 
carriage shop, blacksmith shop, grist mill, two saw mills, a 
milliner shop, thirty-eight dwellings and about 150 inhabitants. 
The Genesee portion of the village contains the post-office, a 
general store, grist mill, saw mill, hardware store, harness and 
shoe shops, milliner shop, twenty dwellings and about eighty 
inhabitants. 

The Ceres News was started Sept. 24, 1873, by J. J. Barker, 
a resident of Ceres township, Potter Co., Pa. At present it is 
published in this State, where it was begun, but is soon to be 
removed across the line. It has always been considered a Penn- 
sylvania newspaper. It is published weekly by Mr. Barker still. 

The settlement of this town is of comparatively recent date, 



92 GENESEE. 



though settlement was commeuced at Ceres, just south of the 
line, in Pennsylvania, as early as 1799, by Francis King and 
his son John, who were joined in 1S02, by Thomas Bee, Thomas 
Smith and John Bell, all from England. The first settler in 
in Genesee was John Bell Jr., who was born in England, May 
5, 1792, and emigrated thence with his father, John Bell, in 
1801. He landed at Philadelphia and was apprenticed at Ger- 
mantown Pa., to learn the trade of a saddletree maker by his 
father, who removed in the autumn of 1802 to Ceres town- 
ship. Potter Co., Pa., as above stated. In the spring of 1817 
John Bell Jr., removed to Ceres township and lived with John 
King, one of the first settlers there. In the fall of the same 
year he located land in the south-east corner of lot 49 in this 
town and commenced a clearing, and the following summer he 
built a log house upon it. The house stood upon the east 
bank and near the mouth of the brook which bears his name. 
The cellar may yet be seen. On the 28th of December, 1818, 
he married Miss Jane King of Ceres and soon after moved into 
his house. He persued the occupation of a farmer and lumber- 
man as did most of the early settlers in this locality. He lived 
on the old homestead till his death, May 3, 1874. The next 
settler of whom we have information was Newman Crabtree, 
an early settler in Wirt, who came to this town and commenced 
the erection of a saw miil on Little G.niesee Creek, on lot 18, 
in 1819. The mill was not got ready for use till a year or two 
after, not, according to one authority, till the summer of 1822. 
This was the first mill of the kind built in the town. He put 
up a shanty to live in while building the mill, and on the com- 
pletion of the latter he sawed some plank atid built a house. 
He also cut some 15,000 or 20.000 feet of boards. In the sum- 
mer of 1822 he started for Wirt with an ox sled to bring his 
family to stay with him a short time as they had done on 
previous occasions, alternating their residence with him here 
and at his place in Wirt. On arriving at lot 3 he stopped at 
an old hut used by the Indians as a half-way house between 
the tribes on the Allegany and Genesee rivers to let his oxen 
bait upon the rank herbage which grew around it, and while 
waiting he conceived the idea of setting fire to the shanty. He 
took out his flint and punk and soon had the building in a 
blaze. He resumed his journey to Wirt and after a stay of a 
day or two there he started back for his home at the mill. 
When he arrived within sight of his house he was horrified to 
see it in flames; and doubtless recognizing in this a punitive act 
for his wanton destruction of the Indian hut, he retraced 
his journey to the house of Timothy Cowles in Bolivar, 
where he remained over night, and the next day he returned 



GENESEE. 93 



to Wirt. He never returned to run the mill. That same fall 
a large pine tree fell across the mill dam and carried it awu}'. 
The mill stood idle about four years, when it was purchased 
of Mr. Crabtree by Horace Wilson, who repaired and operated 
it for a number of years. A lew days after the burning of Mr. 
Crabtree'fi house Mr. Timothy Cowles while on his way to Ceres, 
met an Indian a mile or two below the mill. He accosted the 
Indian and inquired why he burned the house, to which the 
latter ingenuously replied, " he burn me house, me hurt) his " ; 
and when asked why he did not burn the mill too, he answered, 
"Ugh ! hg no burn me mill, me no burn his." Jabez Burdick, 
a native of Berlin, Rensselaer Co., started for this county in 
the winter of 1821-'2, and in the latter part of February of the 
latter year he arrived at Friendship, where he remained during 
the summer and worked a farm on shares, in the fall of the 
same year he came to Genesee, locating on Little Genesee 
Creek, in the north part of lot 3, and made a chopping and 
built a log house on the same. In January, i823, he brought 
in his family, consisting of his wife a son and two daughters. 
That spring he was appointed path-master, his beat extending 
from the Friendship line about three-fourths of a mile above 
his residence, to the Clean line, below Ceres, nearly seven miles 
in length, and his, says his son, was the only family on it. He 
worked out his assessment and some $10 of public money. He 
was frequently called out to cut out trees that had fallen across 
the road. He and his son worked nearly sixty days on the 
road that season. The next season Mr. Streeter had moved in 
and helped them. He resided in the town till his death, and 
his son, Jabez Jr., who came in with him, has since lived in 
the town, with the exception of one year spent in the west. 
The latter has lived longer in the town than any other person 
living in it. Joseph Wells, a native of Westerly, R. L, and Ros- 
well Streeter, a native of Berlin, Rensselaer Co., whence many 
of the early settlers of this town came, moved in in 1824, the 
latter in August, and settled on lot 11, where the village of 
Little Genesee now is. Wells returned and came back early in 
November, 1825, with his wife and six children. He was a 
blacksmith and in 1826 he put up the first blacksmith shop in 
town. He followed that business and farming till his death in 
1836. His son Samuel, who came with him, is still living on 
the old homestead. Streeter built the first framed house in 
town the same year. He lived in town five or six years, when 
he removed to Wirt, and subsequently, after four or five years, 
to Illinois. Ezekiel Crandall, Riverious Hooker Jr. and John 
Loop came in December, 1825, Crandall was born atHopkinton, 
R. I., Sept. 7, 1784, and removed thence with his family with a 



94

horse team and wagon, their goods being shipped to Rochester 
by water. In three weeks they reached Alfred, where Mr. Cran- 
dall was taken sick with typhoid fever, and where a son, E. R. 
Crandall, stopped during the winter with an aunt, joining the 
family in this "town the following spring, since which time he 
has lived here. Another son, Hehry C, after staying a few days 
at Alfred, went to Rochester after the goods, and reached their 
location on lot 13, with a portion of the goods (the rest being 
left in Friendship.) after sundown on the 31st of December, 
1825. He returned to Alfred, where he remained till his 
father recovered. The latter part of January, 1826, they 
moved into the town, staying until they could build a house, at 
Mr. J. Burdick's, where the few goods that were brought iu had 
been left. They moved into their house the fore part of March. 
The elder Crandall was called out with the militia during the 
war of 1812, to defend Stonington, Conn. His services were 
needed only a few days however. He remained on the place he 
located till his death in 1855. Henry C. Crandall has lived in 
the town since he first came. Rivereous Hotjker Jr. was a 
native of Vermont and removed thence to Canada, near King- 
ston, and thence, in February, 1820, to Ceres township, in Pot- 
ter Co. Pa., where he lived till his removal to this town. He 
located on lot 63, in the north-west part of the town. He was 
a carpenter and millwright and followed that vocation here till 
his death in 1868. John Loop settled on lot 47, in the north- 
west part, and cleared a couple of acres. In 1829 he removed 
to lot 64, and thence, after one year, to Pennsylvania. Joseph 
Maxson and his son, Joel, moved in from Rhode Island, and 
settled on lot 4, in 1826. and remained in the town till their 
death, the former in 1856, and the latter in 1865. Wm. and 
Norry Hooker came in 1827. Wm. settled on lot 56 and re- 
mained ten or twelve years ; and Norry, on lot 55, where he re- 
mained five or six years, then removed to Portville. John Cook 
settled on lot 55 the same year and remained till about 1850. 
Settlements were also made by several families from Rhode Island 
in this year. Among them were Ethan Kenyon, Joel Crandall, 
Samuel Jaques and Amos and Rev. Henry P. Green, brothers. 
Kenyon settled on lot 3, in June, and lived there till his death 
in 1864. He was called to the defence of Stonington during the 
war of 1812. Two sons and a daughter came with him to this 
town. One of the former, Ethan Kenyon Jr., still lives on the 
old homestead. Crandall came in November and settled on lot 10, 
where he still lives. Jaques was born at Exeter, R. I., July 
15, 1786. He removed to this town and settled on lot 2, Nov. 27, 
1827. He came by way of Albany on account of the snow and 
bad roads, iu company with Joel Crandall and Benj. Maxson, 



GENESEE. 95 



bringing with him his wife and four children. At Albany they 
hired a man to convey them in a scow, upon which they loaded 
their wagons, after taking them apart, and eflfects. They pro- 
ceeded slowly on account of ice in the canal and were eleves 
days in reaching Syracuse. There they abondoned the boat and 
came on with teams, Mr. Jaques having a single horse and 
democrat wagon to carry his family, bedding and furniture. 
At the end of thirty days he reached the site of Little Genesee 
village, when he left the road and drove one and one-half rniles 
into the woods, and rolled up a log hut to live in. He then 
worked out to get provisions. The next season he bought a cow 
and planted some corn on shares, and the following winter he 
carried the corn stalks over the hill nearly a mile to feed his 
cow. Game was abundant. His eldest boy would often go out 
in the morning and kill a deer and return home in season to 
have a portion of it cooked for breakfast. Bears were frequent- 
ly seen from the house. Mr. Jaques still lives on the farm 
upon which he first settled. Amos Green was born at Hopkin- 
ton, R. I., Feb. 25, 1792, and Henry P., at the same place 
March 28, 1798. Amos settled first near Nile, in June, 1826, 
and the following April removed to lot 13 in this town, where 
he was joined by his brother, who had settled in Wirt, in 1824. 
They were the first settlers on Windfall Creek above where 
Joseph Maxson settled. Amos still lives in the same place. 
Henry was ordained soon after he came hers. He was the 
first pastor of the First Seventh Day Baptist Church of 
Genesee, and pastor of the second and third Churches of that 
denomination in this town. He resided here till his death, 
April 28, 1868. His son, Thomas H. Green, who was born 
February 6, 1827, moved in with him from Wirt, and has 
since resided in town. Henry Loop settled on lot 47, about 
1827, and died in 1828. Ira Burdick moved in from Berlin, 
Rensselaer Co., about 1827 or '28 and settled on lot 11. He 
was killed by the fall of a tree while chopping in the woods a 
year or two after coming in. Rowland Coon, Deacon George 
Potter and Daniel and John Edwards, brothers, all natives of 
Rhode Island, settled in the town in 1828. Coon was born at 
Hopkiuton, March 17, 1792, and located on lot 31 in April, re- 
maining till his death in March, 1848. He moved in from 
Madison Co., where his son, Alonzo B., who came with him, 
and still lives here, was born, Jan. 3, 1820. Potter came in the 
fall and settled on lot 14. The Edwardses were born at 
Charlestown, Daniel, Oct. 8, 1798 and John, Sept. 18, 1801, and

three years ago. Elliott Smith was born at Berlin, Rensselaer 
Co., April 20, 1788, and moved in from Brookfield, Madison 
Co., in 1829. He settled on lot 40, where he died in 1&54. 
His son, John J., came with him and still lives on the old 
farm. Ebenezer D. Bliss was born at Newport, R. I., Dec. 29, 
1796, and removed to the south part of lot 7 in this town in 
November, 1829, where he still lives. He was a chair maker 
by trade and as soon as he had put up a log house he found 
plenty of work in making chairs for the settlers, taking pay in 
provisions, &c. When he first came in he had no table, so for 
several days the front door was taken off the hinges and laid 
upon a couple of barrels, and thus made to serve as a substitute 
for that useful article. Joseph Boss, who was born at the same 
place as Mr. Bliss, Dec. 10, 1811, came in with him, and took up 
land about 1837. He died in the town. In 1830 settlements 
were made by* George Irish, who was born at North Stonington, 
Conn., Feb. 7, 1810, and settled on the north part of lot 48, on 
the 13th of November ; by Paul Eunis, who removed from Rhode 
Island and settled on lot 55 in the spring, and subsequently re- 
moved to the eastern part of the town, where he died ; and by 
Palermo Lackey, a native of Franklin Co., Vt., who removed 
to Genesee on the 28th of April. He was a single man 
and worked out among the settlers for three years. In 1833 
he took up land on lot 57, and in 1838, he bought on lot 
17, where he has since resided. Joseph S. and Ethan P. Cran- 
dall, brothers, the former of whom was born at Brookfield, 
Madison Co., in 1796, and the latter, Aug. 16, 1800, moved in 
from Edmeston, Otsego Co., and settled on lot 47, Sept. 14, 
1830, where Ethan still lives. Joseph was quite a prominent 
townsman and lived here till about 1854, when he removed to 
Wisconsin, where he died in 1873. Charles M. Crandall. son 
of Ethan P., who came in with the latter, has since resided in 
town, with the exception of six years. John Darling settled on 
lot 49 previous to 1831, in which year the settlements were in- 
creased by Elias I, and Benj. C. Maxson, George and Benj. C. 
Merritt, John Tanner and Matthew M. Crandall, all, except 
Tanner, originally from Rhode Island. Elias Maxson was born 
at Hopkinton, R. I., April 3, 1810, and removed thence to this 
town Dec. 19th and located on lot 55. He still lives in town. 
Benj. C. Maxson was born in the same State. He removed 
thence to Cortland Co., and from there to lot 57 in this town, 
in the fall that year. He died here in 1872. The Merritts, 
father and son, also came in the fall and settled on lot 16, where 
George, the father, lived till 1870, when he took up his resi- 
dence with a son in Wellsville, where he still lives. Benjamin 
has since lived in town, also Charles H., another son, who came

with them, with the exception of six years. Tanner removed 
from Petersburgh, Eensselaer Co., to the town of Independence, 
and thence to lot 7 in this town, where he resided till his death 
three or four years ago. Matthew M. Crandall was born at 
Hopkinton, E. I., Nov. 7, 1787. In October, 1816, he removed 
to Cortland Co., and in October, 1831, to Genesee, settling in 
the south west part of lot 57. He was a farmer and shoemaker 
and worked at the former vocation in the summer and the 
latter in the winter. He died on the old homestead Sept. 9, 
1874. His son, George S., who came in with him, has since 
lived on the same farm, with the exception of one and 
one-half ye'ars. Jairus Crandall, who was born in Ehode 
Island, January, 17, 1799, removed thence to this 
town, where he is still living, in November, 1832, and 
settled on lot 15. Z. E. Maxson, moved in from DeEuyter, 
Madison Co., in January of the same year and settled at Lit- 
tle Genesee village, where he lived till seven or eight vears ago. 
Warren Hyde settled on lot 31 about 1832. Albert B.'Crandall, 
the first permanent settler on Deer Creek, was born in Brook- 
field, Madison Co., Dec. 8, 1810, and removed thence to this 
town in September, 1833, locating on lot 61. He put up a log 
hut and moved into it before it had either doors, windows or a 
chimney. He taught school the following winter, and chopped 
in the woods near his house on moonlight nights. He is still a 
resident of the town. Henry C. Champlin removed from 
Alfred and settled on Dodges Creek the same year. In 1835 he 
removed to Deer Creek, on lot 38, where he died in 1848. The 
first birth and death in town were those of Francis K. Bell, son 
of John Bell Jr., on lot 49, who was born Nov. 25. 1819 and 
died Dec. 29, 1819. We are not advised whether Bell's mar- 
riage was contracted in this town or in Pennsylvania. It is 
probable, however, that it occured in that State. Bell was 
doubtless the first resident of the town who married, though 
the first marriage contracted in the town was probably that of 
Joseph Allen and Phebe Maxson, in 1826. The first school 
was taught by Henry P. Green, near the mouth of Windfall 
Creek, in the winter of 1826-'7. The first inn was kept at 
Little Genesee village in 1842, by Lewis P. Coon; and the first 
store in 1831, by Albert Langworthy. 

The first religious services were held by the Seventh Day Baptists, under 
the direction of Rev John Green, in 182b, and the first Church was formed 
by the same denomination the next year. 

The First Oenesee Seventh Day Baptist Church, at Little Genesee village, 
was organized with fourteen members, in 1827, by Wm. B. Maxson and 
John Green. Their house of worship, which will seat 400 persons, was 
erected in 1838, at a cost of $3,400. The first pastor was Rev. Henry P. 
Green ; the present one is Rev. Thomas B. Brown. There are 195 mem-

by Mr. A. L. Maxson, church clerk.'] 

The Third Seventh Day Baptist Church of Oenesee, was organized with 
twelve members, June 2, 1834, and re-organized in 1848. The church 
edifice, which will seat 150 persons, is located on lot 47, on Dodges Creek, 
and was erected in 1859, at a cost of $1600. The first pastor was Rev. 
Henry P. Green ; the present one is Rev. W. B. Gillette. The Society 
numbers seventy-two. The Church property is valued at $3,000. 

GRANGER was formed from Grove, as West Grove, April 
18, 1838. Its name was changed March 6, 1839, the present name 
being given in honor of Frank Granger, who was then Post 
Master General. The first town meeting was held at the house 
of Orville Hitchings March 5, 1839, and the following named 
officers were elected, Isaac Van Nostrand, Supervisor; Samuel 
C. Jones, Town Clerk; John L. Johnston, Collector; Rufus 
Shepard, Wm. Pitt and Salmon Reminton, Assessors; Moses 
White and Hosea Haskins, Overseers of (he Poor; Rodolph

It is the central town upon the north border of the county, and 
contains 20,450 acres. The surface is a hilly upland, divided into 
several distinct ridges. Genesee River, which forms the north- 
ern half of the west boundary, is b )rdered by abrupt hillsides 
000 to 800 feet high. The only other considerable stream is 
Rush Creek, which flows in a south-westerly direction through 
near the central part. The soil is a clayey loam upon the hills, 
and a gravelly loam in the valleys. Generally it is best adapted 
to grazing. The farmers are mostly engaged in dairying. 
Sheep raising is carried on to some extent. There is no hotel 
in the town and the inhabitants are reputed to be a moral 
people. 

Tlie population in 1870 was 1050 ; of whom 938 were native, 
112, foreign and all, except six, white. 

Shoet Tract, (p. o.) situated in the south part, contains 
two churches, two stores, a town hall, wagon shop, cheese 
factory, three blacksmith shops, a school house and about 100 
inhabitants. It is mostly upon one street, and is about a mile 
long. 

Granger, (p. o.) situated in the north part, and East 
Grangp:r, (p. o.) in the south-east part, are hamlets. 

Settlement was commenced at Short Tract, in February, 
1816, by Reuben Smith, his two sons, Wilcox and Isaac, and

from Cayuga Co., also settled in the north-eastern part, on 
what is known as the State road. Isaac Van Nostrand settled 
near Short Tract, on lot 20, the same year. Daring the sum- 
mer he put up the first saw mill elected in the town, and in 
the fall he returned to the town of Milton, Saratoga Co., 
whence he came, and remained till spring, when he 
again came in. In 1820 he built the first framed house in 
town. In the lall of that year he again returned to Saratoga 
Co. after his family, which he brought in with a span of horses 
and wagon, in which was himself, wife and five children, with 
nearly all their goods, the eldest son having remained here. 
Mr. Van Nostrand lived upon the farm he took up the rest of his 
life. His sons, Luzon and Lewis, built the first grist mill in 
the town in 1831. Joel Pratt, from Whitehall, Washing- 
ton Co., settled near Short Tract, on lot 21, about

probably that of Isaac Hatch and Clarissa Pratt, in the spring 
of 1821. The first death was, according to one authority, that 
of Olive Linee, in 1817 ; while another believes it to have been 
that of a negro named Jaquay, "previous to 1819." The first 
school was taught at Short Tract, by Miss Arzevilla Williams, 
in 1819. Elias Smith kept the first inn at Short Tract, in 1819, 
and the first store at the same place, in 1820. He also kept the

the same denomination about lb26. 

The M. E. CJmrch of Shm-t Tract was organized about 1826, by Elder

The town lies upon the north border of the county, east of the 
cetitei', and contains 21,070 acres. The surface is a hilly upland, 
divided into several distinct ridges. A valley in theeast partis 
known as Chautauqua Valley. It is drained by the headwaters 
of Cashaqua Creek in the north-west part, and by branches of 
Canaseraga and Black creeks in the eastern and southern parts. 
The soil upon the hills is a clayey loam underlaid by hardpan, 
and in the valleys a gravelly loam. 

The Buffalo Branch of the Erie R. R. crosses the north-east 
corner of the town. The Rochester, Nunda & Pennsylvania 
R. R. runs parallel with that road, which it crosses near ISwains- 
ville, and passing a short distance into the town of Burns re- 
enters this town by a sharp curve and. crosses the south-east 
corner. 

The population in 1870 was 1056, all of whom were white, 924, 
'native and 132, foreign. 

SwAiNSViLLE, (Swain p. o.) situated in theeast part, on the

P. R. R., in a picturesque valley and surrounded by hills 400 
to 600 feet above the level of the streams, contains about seven- 
ty five inhabitants. 

Brewers Corners, situated a little south-west of the cen- 
ter, was, during the lumbering period of the town, an active 
business center. There are now only four or five families there. 

Carter Cheese Factory was erected in 1872, by Mr. Carter. 
In 1873, (?) from June 1st to Sept. 27th, 163,207 pounds of

cheese during the season was twelve cents. The total amount 
received was $1958.40, of which $1653.22 was paid to patrons. 
The amount paid for making was $1.87 5. 

Settlement was commenced in May, 1818, by John White, 
who was born in Columbia Co., in 1786, and moved in here 
from Herkimer Co. He located on road 2, on lot 35, in the 
north-west part of the town, where he still lives. He moved in 



103 



GROVE— HUME. 



from Herkimer Co. with an ox team, bringing his family with 
him, and cut a road from Nuuda. The nearest settlement to 
him' was at Nunda Station. His house, a log structure, was 
the first built in the town. Alexander Bailey, who was born in 
Vermont in 1792, came into the county March 9, 1818. and 
settled on the same lot, near Mr. White, in the spring of 1819, 
where he has lived most of the time. Elijah White, a native 
of Herkimer Co., settled in the town Feb. 1, 1819. Eiley Par- 
ker came in 1822; and Jonathan Parsons settled the same 
year at Brewers Corners, where he was the first to locate. 
Benjamin Bratt also settled at the Corners in February, 1823, 
Elias Alvord, in April, and Daniel G. Brewer, May 10th of the 
same year. These were the only settlers there at that time. 
Brewer is a native of Greene Co., and moved in from Nunda, 
Livingston Co., where he had previously resided. He located 
on lot 49. He says the first wheat raised in town was on five 
acres, which yielded forty-three bushels to the acre. The first 
birth in town was that of Laura Bailey, Dec. 25, 1821; the first 
marriage, that of Elijah White and Lucy Dana, in 1822. The 
first school was taught by Emily P..ge, in John White's log 
cabin, in 1826. The first inn was kept in the north-west corner, 
by Henry Andrews, in 1828. At present there is no hotel in 
the town. The first store was kept at or near the same place, 
by Thayer & Smith, in 1825. The first saw mill was erected in 
the north part, by John S. Culver. 

The first religious services were held at tlie house of John White hy 
the Methodists, under the direction of Rev. Cyrus Story, in 1.S20, and the 
first Church was formed by tiie same denomination, at the White settle- 
ment, iu 1831.

The town lies upon the north border of the county, west of the 
center, and contains 24,274 acres. The surface is a hilly up- 
land, watered by Genesee River, which forms the northern half 
of the east boundary, and several small streams, the principal 
of which are Wiscoy, Cold and Six Town creeks, which empty 



ETJME. 103 

into the Genesee upon the west, and furnish excellent water 
privili^es. The Wiscoy furnishes the best water power in the 
county. At the village of Wiscoy it falls about seventy feet in 
some eighty rods* The Genesee is bordered by hills which rise 
abruptly to a height of 400 to 700 feet. The soil is a clayey 
and gravelly loam, best adapted to grazing, and the farmers are 
chiefly engaged in dairying. The rich interval ofthe river is 
highly productive and produces good crops of wheat and other 
cereals. 

The Caneadea Reservation lies mostly within this town. 

The Geoesee Valley Canal extends through the eastern part 
ofthe town in the valley of the Genesee. 

The population of the town in 1870 was 1920; of whom 1775 
were native, 145, foreign and all, except three, white. 

Hume, (p. o.) (familiarly known as Cold Creek,) is situated 
on Cold Creek, a little south-west of the center of the town, 
and contains three churches, three stores, one grocery, two 
hotels, a grist mill, harness shop, tailor shop, two shoe shops, 
two wagon shops, one blacksmith shop and about 300 inhabit- 
ants. The population in 1870 was 254. 

Fillmore, (p. o.) situated on the west bank of the Genesee, 
at the mouth of Cold Creek, and on the Genesee Valley Canal, 
contains one church, one hotel, three stores, a wagon manufac- 
tory, three blacksmith shops, a cheese factory and about 300 
inhabitants. The population in 1870 was 215. 

Wiscoy, (p. o.) (also known as Mixville,) situated on Wiscoy 
Creek, in tne north-east part, derives its name from the Creek 
upon which it is located, and contains one church, (M. E.) one 
hotel, three stores, a foundry and machine shop, a cabinet 
manufactory, grist mill, saw mill, blacksmith shop, wagon shop 
and about 250 inhabitants. The population in 1870 was 193^ 

Mills' Mills, (p. o.) situated on Wiscoy Creek, in the north 
part of the town, contains a school house, cabinet manufactory, 
grist mill, saw mill, carding machine and about ten dwellings. 

Settlement was commenced in the spring of 1806, by Roger 
Mills, from Cauajoharie, Montgomery Co., who stopped for a 
season at Pike, Wyoming Co., which then contained some half- 
dozen families within its present limits, and where he one day 
hired a man named Olinn, who was considerably acquainted 
! with this country, to traverse with him the course of Wiscoy 
Creek, in the direction of the Genesee, and prospect for a 
desirable mill site, paying him therefor one dollar. Arriving

at the upper falls of that stream its excellent water power de- 
termined him to secure the lands upon which they are located, 
and he proceeded to Batavia and articled lots 36 and 37; for the 
town, with the exception of the Reservation and that part of it 
which lies east of the transit line, had been surveyed the pre- 
vious summer by Judge Wm. Peacock, of Mayville, Chau- 
tauqua Co., who, in describing the territory embraced in its 
limits, said "the amimals were wolves, marten, deer, rattle- 
snakes and Indians, and sometimes the worst of these were the 
Indians, as on one occasion I had one of my pack horses stolen, 
but to which I recovered after much annoyance and delay. 
Beautiful brook trout were abundant in all the streams." 
Bears, though not mentioned by him, were quite numerous 
years subsequent to his survey. Mr. Mills erected a log cabin, 
which was characterized by the conveniences (or perhaps we 
should say inconveniences,) of those in all the new settlements 
of that day, previous to the introduction of the saw mill. In 
1807 he constructed a dam across the Wiscoy and erected a 
saw mill, and in 1808, a grist mill, with a single run of stones, 
was built. These were the first mills erected in the town, and 
the latter was, probably, the only one in the county, with the 
exception of the one built by Judge Church at Angelica. 
They were an important acquisition to the settlements 
in their immediate vicinity. 8o sparsely was the coun- 
try settled at that time that settlers came all the way from 
Geneseo to attend the raising, and some of the Indians from the 
Reservation turned out and assisted. The stones, which were 
from the celebrated Esopus quarries, and castings were brought 
from Albany upon sleighs the preceding winter, by George 
Mills and Zacliariah Keyes. In crossing Cayuga Lake one of 
the sleighs broke through the ice, which was thin, but as they 
were near the shore it was drawn out after some little delay 
with the assistance of an eight horse team. " The principal 
gearing, cog-wheels, &c. were made of wood, and compared with 
modern mill machinery was very rude and much more noisy in 
its operation;" but "probably no event during those early 
years of pioneer life was hailed with more delight than the I 
erection and successful operation of this mill. It saved the ; 
early settlers of our town many a long mile of weary travel, \ 
enabling them to appropriate time, otherwise spent in tedious ] 
journeys of thirty or forty miles to the nearest mill, to the I 
clearing up and improvement of their new homes." This mill | 
received the patronage of the settlers for many miles around, 
some coming all the way from Great Valley, Cattaraugus Co., f 
Angelica, Short Tract and nearly as far north as Mt. Morris, fol- [ 
lowing for a good part of the distance Indian trails, bridle paths

or marked trees until they neared the mill, when they struck 
the primitive roads. The grists were usually carried on horse 
back and at a later day on drays. "It used to be said that 
between this mill and Patches' Corners, some three miles 
north, there was but one mud hole, [which] was contiiious 
and extended from one place to the other." Settlers coming 
from a distance frequently had occasion to remain at the mill 
over night while waiting for their grists, and gladly availed 
themselves of its hoiel accommodations, beds being extemporized 
of bags of grain. Here W.W. Penfield once sold goods ; and here, 
too, the few letters and fewer papers for the neighboring settlers 
were brought from the nearest post office and left for distribu- 
tion. Eoger Mills returned to Montgomery Co., where he was 
taken sick and died in 1811. In the summer of that year his 
sou Roger moved his family into the mill and built a shanty 
for a kitchen beside it. This was the first framed house erected 
iu the town. It "still stands, but has been repaired so that it 
now scarcely shows any of its ancient appearances." Roger 
Mills Jr. while living iu the mill, had a son born. Mr. Mills 
was born near Hartford, Conn,, where he carried on butchering 
about the time of the Revolutionary war. He removed thence 
toCanajoharie, where he remained till the death of his father. 
He was a man of strict integrity and was for mauy years exten- 
sively engaged in business and prominently identified with all 
that contributed to the early growth and prosperity of the town. 
He left a numerous family most of whom still reside in this 
town and manifest more or less of the sterling qualities which 
distinguished their father. In 1809 Elisha Mills opened a store 
in the mill, which was the first kept in the town; and for several 
years he kept a store in the old mill house. His goods were 
brought from Albany upon sleighs or wagons and were replen- 
ished in the same way as occasion required. The Indians upon 
the river frequently patronized this store. A loaf of bread, or 
a mere trinket from it, would at any time command a ham of 
venison. For many years the* former was the established price, 
atid every winter the loft in the grist mill was stored with large 
quantities of venison, which always i'ound a ready market in 
the older settlements north and east. The grist mill superceded 
the mortar and pestle with the Indians, who nearly all be- 
came patrons of the tesionah, as they called it, bringing 
small quantities of their oiiah (corn) to be ground. 
The saw mill they called Kanisleoni ; but this they never 
patronized, as it required too much labor to cut and draw 
the logs, which was inconsistent with their habits of indolence. 
In 18U7, N. Dixon settled on lot 109, iu the north-east part of 
tiie town, where he was probably the first settler. In 1809,

SUME. 



Joshua Skiff, from Otsego Co., articled the north part of lot 
38, paying Mr. Mills, who had previously had it booked to him- 
self,' $5 for his chance. He secured board with Elisha Mills 
and during the summer cleared about three acres which, in the 
fall, he sowed to wheat. That fall he built a log cabin, settlers 
" from near and far," to the number of eleven men and two 
women, assisting him in the raising. After its completion he 
went back to Otsego Co., returning early in 1810 with his wife. 
This latter year his eldest son, (Milton W.) was born, and is be- 
lieved to be the first white child born in the town. He rapidly 
brought his land under cultivation and raised a considerable 
quantity of grain, so that he was able to bridge over with tol- 
erable comfort the hard times which followed the cold season of 
1816, which bore with great severity upon many of the settle- 
mentsin thisand neighboringlocalities where less preparation had 
been made for such a contingency. He was elected the first super- 
visor upon the erection of the town, and held that office three 
years in succession. He had been supervisor of Pike for two years 
preceding the erection of this town. He died in 1846, at the age 
of 63 years. The settlement of Moses Robinson was contem- 
porary with that of Skiff. He came from the same locality in 
Otsego Co. and located on lot 32, a little ^outh-vvest of him. 
He was an inveterate whittler, a habit which grew upon him as 
he advanced in years. After his years of active labor and out- 
door exercise had passed he spent his evenings almost entirely 
in that pastime, whittling a bushel of shavings at a sitting. 
He took good care to always have a, good supply of whittling 
timber on hand. John Bellinger, from Otsego Co., took up 
land the same year on lot 112. About 1810 or '11, Edmund 
Skiff, a brother of Joshua, settled on lot 24, and commenced 
improvements; but on the opening of the war of 1812, in con- 
sequence of the timidity of his wife lest the Indians in this lo- 
cality should join the British, he was constrained to return to 
Otsego Co., whence he came. He traded places with Hubbard 
Fuller, who came in the same year, (1812,) and prosecuted with 
energy the various improvements the new place demanded. He 
articled other lands near him, and at one time possessed quite an 
extensive tract. Luther Couch, the first town clerk, and after- 
terwards supervisor and justice of the peace, came in about the 
close of the yv-AV, at first conducting a school, and boarding with 
Hubbard Fuller, whose daughter, Sylvia, he soon after married. 
He commenced to keep house in Pike, near where his father 
lived, but after a year or two he returned and took up land on 
lot 24. Aaron Robinson, a brother of Moses, Sjettled early on 
lot 32, and was for some years a man of extensive business ope- 
rations. He built a tannery over a hundred feet long, employ- 



HUME. X07 

ii)g quite a number of men, and conducted a boot and shoe 
shop in connection with it, employing seven or eight men. 
Amos Robinson settled early on lot 28, the part known as Peach 
Orchard. The following incident is related of him by Mr. Mi- 
nard. before qiiotod : 

" He was fishing one day in Cold Creek, north of Hume vil- 
lage, when his attention was attracted by a rustling in the 
leaves and bushes, a little way up the creek. Turning his eyes 
in that direction what was his surprise to behold a large bear 
approaching him. Hurriedly breaking or cutting f(uir or five 
feet oif the butt end of his fish pole, he at once made for his 
bearship. *Bru;n alarmed at the bold front and resolute man- 
ner of his assailant, turned tail to beat a hasty retreat, and at- 
tempted to climb a tree, in which act Robinson overtook him, 
and wiih well directed and ponderous blows upon the face and 
head soon dispatched him." 

The first school in town was taught by Caroline Russell, from 
Montgomery Co., in the summer of 18l2, in the stable part of 
a barn, which is still standing, or was at a recent date. 

Settlement proceeded quite slowly for several years so that early 
in 1815 there were not more than twenty families in town. 
About this time, however, quite an influx of emigration, chiefly 
from Otsego Co., set in and continued lor ten or more years, at 
the end of which time you could scarcely meet with a man in 
the whole town who was not from Otsego or Montgomery 
counties. Josiah Hamer, from New .Jersey, settled between 
Mills' Mills and Wiscoy. on the farm now occupied by one of 
his sons, in 1815; and Edward Doud, from Hartwick, Otsego 
Co., settled in the northern part on lot 81, in June of that year. 
Charles Trail settled on lot? and Joel Elmer, on lot 14, the same 
year. Elmer came from Ontario Co. and to that county from 
Otsego Co. He built a house and moved his family in in the fall. 
Hamer had previously resided at (leneseo and Portage in Liv- 
ingston Co., and moved in here from the latter place. Benja- 
min Cooley, from Delaware Co., came in 1816 and took up a 
farm in the northern part, about one and one-half miles from 
VVisc(^y, and on which one of his sons still lives. Joel Stock- 
well, from Brattleboro, Vt., took up a large farm in the north- 
eastern part, where he remained till his death, in December, 
1817; and Luman Trail, from Otsego Co., in the north-western 
part, where he still lives, the same year. Roswell Gibbs moved in 
with another family from the town of Bethel, Windsor Co., Vt., 
his native place, and settled in the north-western part in 1818. 
He came partway with a span of horses and sleigh and the remain- 
der of the way with a wagon, the journey occupying seventeen 
days. When he arrived here he had only fifty cents and a horse.

He bnilt a log house and moved into it before it was chincked 
or a chimney built. Pins were used instead of nails, as he was 
too poor to buy the latter, and greased paper, a common substi- 
tute in early days for glass, adorned his windows. Being un- 
able after several years to raise enough money to get an article 
of his land he borrowed a dollar of his father for that purpose, 
for which he gave his note. He still lives upon the farm he first 
took up. In March, 1819, Dexter Carpenter, from Vermont, 
settled in the north part of lot 111. In 1816 Roger Mills and 
Bailey Clough erected a carding mill a few rods below tlie grist 
mill. This was the first establishment of its kind in the north- 
ern part of the county, and to it was soon added the necessary 
machinery and Bxtures for coloring, dressing and pressing the 
homa-made cloth of the neighborhood. It was extensively pa- 
tronized by the inhabitants of the various settlements for many 
miles in every direction. At this and a little later period the 
settlers had to go to Geneseo to oet their blacksmithing done, 
until the advent of Thomas Pyre, the pioneer blacksmith, who 
opened a shop at the Mills. In 1815 the first inn was opened 
by George Mills. It was a log house, situated a little north of 
the mill. 

From the Pioneer Sketches written by John S. Minard of 
Hume, to which we are indebted for many facts relative the 
earl} settlementsof this town, we extract the following interest- 
ing description of the first settlements in Hume. 

"The first season or two they [the settlers] led a sort of batchelor life, 
keeping a kind of Batchelor Hall; no woman, as yet, to share in the toils, 
trials, hardships and privations ever incident to frontier life; or to prepare 
and cook their simple food. All the simpler operations of cookery, such 
a boiling, baking and roastinsi patatoes, and preparing their meat, they 
were able to perform; but the higher offices in the culinary department, 
required more skill than they were possessed of, so they were obliged to 
go ta Pike, a distance of five miles, to get their bread baked The nearest 
grist mill at that time was upon the outlet of Conesus lake, a few miles 
below Geneseo. At present it would consume no more time to make the 
round trip to New York City and back than it then took for our pioneers 
to perform the simple operation of going to mill. Pork, potatoes, beans, 
beef, flour and salt constituted the variety of food and provisions upon 
which they [subsisted ] The cow in her advent was almost comtenipo- 
raneous with man, being as indispensible for sustenance as was the ox 
for the purpose oi^ labor. Nicknacks, frosted cakes, cookies and sweet 
meats, with their attendant evils, mdigestion and dyspepsia, were to them 
unknown, and better for us had they remained unknown to this day. 
And yet, these backwoodsmen were no strangers to joy and its kindred 
passions. Ah, No ! far from it ! Every tree that fell crashing to the 
ground, echoing and re-echoing among the pillars of God's first temples, 
saluted their ears with music 'almost divine;' every log heap which, in 
the shades of night, sent a gleam of light through the dark forests, sent 
also bright rays of hope to their hearts ; and every clearing large enough 
to admit God's sunlight through to bathe the original soil, gave to them 



HUME. 109 

an earnest of the harvest that should gladden their hearts, and richly re- 
ward them for tiieir labors." 

We quote the following from the same authority : 

"In 1817 or '18, grain becoming considerably abundant, distilleries began 
to be erected. One was built on what is called the 'Grover place'. Soon 
after one was built at the mills, and not long after that one was built by 

Hanier betweerv Mills' Mills and Wiscoy. At these distilleries the 

surplus grain of the neighboring settlements, which would not command 
the cash at any price whatever, was manufactured into whiskt y, and in 
that condition found both a home and foreign market. The Indians used 
to patronize these institutions quite extensively, bringing their corn to 
exchange for whiskey, for which they nearly all had a very strong weak- 
ness. A little incident illustrative of Indian cunning. The corn that the 
Indians raised when the whites made their appearance was a wh'te, softish 
kind, easily broken in the mortar, but quite inferior to the yellow corn 
introduced by the Yankees, as the Indians called them. For distilling 
purposes it was far inferior. They soon began to raise the yellow or 
'Yankee' corn, as they called it. Some of the Millses had a piece of corn 
on new land. It was cut and put in stooks to season for husking, and 
nothing more thought of it. The 'Yankee' corn of the Indians began 
to come in in profusion, in exchange for whiskey, and quite a trade 
was driven in that branch of commerce. Soon, however, it was thought 
the corn must be in good condition for husking. So, repairing to the field 
for that purpose, they were surprised to tind themselves entirely relieved 
from that, it was their own corn which they had been taking in so freely 
at the distillery." 

About 1825 Nathaniel E. Mills opened a store and started an 
ashery at the Mills. The Indians brought ashes in bags upon 
their backs, from which the coals were nicely sifted, and ex- 
changed them for goods and trinkets. Capt. Samuel Eussell 
came from Montgomery Co. a short time after the Millses and 
settled a little north of the Mills. Eleazer Bliss, from Otsego 
Co., settled in the western part of the town in 1826. Elijah 
Clark, a native of Mass., moved in from the same county as 
Bliss and settled in the same locality the next year. Joel Kings- 
ley, from Livingston Co., also came in 1827, and settled in the 
north-eastern part. 

Settlement at Hume village was commenced about 1820, by 
Sylvan us Hammond, from Middlebury, who made some improve- 
ments on the north side of the creek and built the first house, 
a log one. Ira Higbee settled here early and built a log house 
south of the creek, but soon sold out to Ebenezer Utiey, from 
Butternuts, Ctsego Co., who came on in January, 1823. James 
Drake made a clearing and erected a sort of plank or block 
house. Luther Merchant, from Middlebury, settled and built a 
log house about where the Ingham Hotel is. C.G.Ingham bought 
him out and moved into the house in March, 1823. Ingham 
Came from Bethany, to which place he had removed from Her- 
kimer Co. The tirst saw mill here was built by Blakeley &

Drake in 1823, just below the " budge" on the north side of 
the creek. The pioneer blacksmith was Ruby, who built a shop 
on the south side of the bridge. The first resident physician 
was Dr. Joseph Balcom, from New Berlin, Rensselaer Co., who 
resided here till his death in 1851. The first merchant was 
James D. McKean, who first exposed his goods in Ingham's 
bar, in 1825, but soon removed to the front room, where he suc- 
ceeded so well that he put up a store, the first in the place. The 
first school at this place was taught by Charles Mathers, in the 
winter of 1823-4. The first grist mill was built in 1829, by 
Ozro Thomas and John Freeman. It contained two runs of 
stones and stood on the south bank of the creek, about twenty 
rods below the falls. The first tannery was built by Townsend 
& Smith. The postoffice was established in 1826, and Chauu-- 
cey Ingham was the first postmaster. The first mail contained 
one letter only. 

Settlement at Wiscoy was begun in 1828, by Lawrence Wilkes, 
the pioneer blacksmith. A saw mill was erected the same year 
by Mr. Mix; and a grist mill and tavern in 1829, by Henry 
Torrey. In 1830 the first store was opened by Orrin Kingsley 
and Isaac Wheeler. Dr. Keyes, who settled here the latter year, 

was the first physician. David Geer, David Ayde, Sawyer 

and Ilibbard Price were early settlers at Wiscoy. 

Up to 1836 the site of Fillmore was covered with a heavy 
growth of pine, buttonwood, butternut and elm. John Whiting, 
if not the first, was one of the first settlers. He settled upon a 
farm just south of the village and built a saw mill on the creek. 
In 1838, Abner Leet built the first tavern just west of the ca- 
nal. Asgil S. Dudley opened the first store in June, 1839. He 
was also the first postmaster on the establishment of the office 
in 1850. 

The first religious services were held at the house of Roger Mills, by a 
missionary from Rushford and Caneadea, some time during the war of 
1812-14. Elders Kendall and Ephraim Sanford, the latter from (Janeadea, 
were pioneer preachers. 

The Second 31. E Chuich of Hume, at "Wiscoy, was organized with about 
thirty-five members, in 1824, by Kev. Mr. Waller, the first pastor. The 
church edifice was erected in 1826, at a cost of some $3,000, and was re- 
modeled in 1870. It will seat 300 persons. The Society, numbering forty, 
is under the spiritual tutelage of Rev. J. F. Brown, our informant. The 
Church property is valued at $5,000. 

The FcTst Baptist Church of Hume, at Hume village; was organized 
with twenty-two members in 1835, by Elders James Reed, J. C. Sangster 
and A. Miner. Their first house of worship was erected iu 1836; the 
present one, which will seat 300 person^, in 1850, at a cost of some $2,000. 
The first pastor was Rev. Rufus.Sabin.- The Society numbers about thirty, 
but has no pastor. The 'frftiperty of the (Jhurch is valued at $2,500. {In-

The First Universadst Church of Hume, at Hume village, was organized 
with thirty-five members, Jan 25, 1842, by Rev. I. B. Sharp, the first and 
present pastor, also our informant. Their house of worship will seat 300 
persons. It was erected in 1861, at a cost of $3,000. The Church propei'-

The First M. E. Church of Hxime, at Hume village, was organized with 
thirteen members in 1871, by Rev. J. E. Parker, the first pastor. Their 
house of worship was erected in 1841, by the Congregational Society, 
which is now extinct. It cost originally $1200, and will seat 250 persons. 
The present number of members is twenty, and the pastor. Rev J. F. 
Brown. The Church property is valued at $1500. [^Information furnislied

INDEPENDENCE was formed from Alfred, March 
16, 1821. Andover was taken off Jan. 38, 1824, and a part of 
Willing, Nov. 19, 1851. It lies in the south-east corner of the 
county, and contains 21,572 acres. The surface is a mountain- 
ous upland, broken by deep, narrow valleys. The highest sum- 
mits are 800 to l,200"feet above the valleys. It is drained by 
Cryder Creek in the south part and Chenunda Creek in the 
north. It is abundantly watered by numerous springs. The 
soil is principally a gravelly loam, with sections of sand. The 
people are chiefly eug.iged in farming. Dairying is carried on 
extensively, the milk being sent to cheese factories. Large 
quantities of potatoes are raised and thousands of bushels are 
annually shipped to market. There have been six distilleries 
in the town. 

The population in 1870 was 1175 ; of whom all, except forty- 
two, were native, and all, except one, white. 

Whitesville, (p. o.) situated on Cryder Creek, in the east 
part of the town, derives its name from Samuel S. "White, who 
settled there in 1819, built the first hotel and kept a store, and 
contains three churches, one school, two hotels, eight stores, 
two wagon shops, three blacksmith shops, one planing mill and 
wool carding machine, a foundry and agricultural implement 
manufactory, a photograph gallery, cabinet shop, cheese facto- 
ry and sixty-three dwellings. 

The Whitesville Foundry and Agricultural Implement Manufac- 
tory was erected in 1850, and in 1854 was purchased by C. C. 
Allen, who has since conducted the business. Six to ten per- 
sons are employed. 

The Whitesville Cheese Factory was erected in 18fi4, by Frank- 
lin Forsyth, who continued it in operation six years. It then 
lay idle till the spring of 1<874. The present proprietor is M. 
F. Forsyth. The milk of about 400'Ct)<rs is received and twelve 
cheeses of sixty pounds each made daily. 



112 INDEPENDENCE. 



Spring Mills, (p. o.) (named from the numerous springs in 
its vicinity,) is situated in the south-east corner of the town 
and contains a school, hotel, two stores, a wagon shop, black- 
smith shop, shoe shop, grist mill, small saw mill and about sev- 
enty-tive inhabitants. A Mr. Hammond sold the first goods 
here in 1826. Samuel Maxwell opened a store the same year. 
Dr. Fuller built and opened the first hotel in 1838. 

Greens Corners, (Independence p. o.) situated in the north 
part, on Chenunda Creek, contains a church, (Seventh Day Bap- 
tist,) school, grocery, wagon shop, blacksmith shop, cheese fac- 
tory and about fifty inhabitants. 

Independence Cheese Factory, located here, received, in 1873, 
from 450 cows, 1,209,960 pounds of milk, from which was made 
125,566 pounds of cheese, averaging 9.63 pounds of milk to one 
of cheese. 

Fulmer Valley, (p. o.) is a hamlet in the north-west cor- 
ner of the town. 

Settlement was commenced in 1798, by John Cryder, who 
built a house, a saw mill, and made other improvements, which 
he soon after abandoned and left the country. The first per- 
manent settlement was made by Oliver Babcock, who, according 
to one authority settled on the north part of lot 126 in the fall 
of 1818, and according to another, in February, 1819. Both, 
however, agree that he was the first permanent settler. He 
came from Alfred and remained here six or eight years. The 
second settler was David Wilson, who was born in the town of 
Shelburne, Franklin Co., Mass., in 1767, and removed thence 
with his wife, five sons and two daughters, to lot 72 in this 
town. He started in the fall of 1818, but stopi^ied at Yates 
over winter. He reached his destination March 26, 1819, and 
occupied temporarily until he could build a house, a hut which 
had been buiit in the north part of the town by a Mr. Peterson 
who never moved in. A son and daughter who remained behind 
came in two years later. The only road was the one from Andover 
to Cryder Creek, at Whitesville. The nearest post-office was at 
Almond, to which his daughter Mary used to go on horseback, 
after the mails. The nearest grist mill was at the same place. 
When they first came in no straw could be obtained for the 
bfds, so his wife used as a substitute hemlock boughs. In the 
fore part of the summer of 1821 Mr. Wilson erected a barn, 
which was the first framed building in town. In this barn was 
taught the first school, in the summer of 1821, Miss Mary 
Wilson (now Mrs. Mary Reynolds,) was the teacher. The first 
summer of their settlement they erected a log blacksmith shop, 
David Wilson Jr. being the blacksmith, and the pioneer black- 



INDEPENDENCE. \ \ 3 



smith in the town. As they had no anvil they hired one of a 
Mr. Burdick of Andover, also two pairs of tongs, which they 
kept until late in the fsfll. Two of the brothers, Robert and 
Uavid, returned to Mass., where they spent the winter, and in 
the spring they brought back with them an anvil which was 
put up in the shop. Some years later they erected a still which 
they run for a number of years. Mr. Wilson died in the town 
about 1840. The first framed dwelling was built in the north 
part by Ii«aiah Green. The third settler was John Teater from 
Dutchess Co., who located at Wliitesville about the middle of 
April, 1819. He put up the first fra iie building, a barn, at 
Whitesvilfe, in 18'-^0. He was followed a little later in the spring 
by Samuel S. White, a native of R. Island, who removed with 
his father to Alfred, and thence to this town, settling at Whites- 
ville, on lot 50, where he remained till his death. When he 
came here he had an ax and $2.50 in money, but by industry and 
frugality he accumulated property which at his death, was 
worth about 180.000. He built the first hotel in town, at 
VVhitesville, (which he kept some years) in the summer of 1826. 
His was the first framed dwelling put up in that village. He 
also kept store for a number of years, and for several years did 
a successful business dealing in cattle. Wm. Hamilton moved 
in the same spring (lbl9) from Alfred and settled in the north 
part, on lot 117, where he remained four or five years, when 
he removed to West Union, Steuben Co., and subsequently to 
Iowa. Nathaniel Taggart settled on lot 8 prior to November, 
1819. Asaph Guodridge, a native of Mass., removed to Almond 
in 1816, and in 1819, to lot 40 in this town, where he died 
in 1855. Two children, who were born in town, still reside 
here. About the middle of the first summer a scarcity of pro- 
visions was felt by the settlers, and as David Wilson was the 
only one who had money he supplied John Teater, who went to 
Geneva after food. Teater was expected back within a week, 
but two had elapsed before his return. Those who re- 
mained, says Robert Wilson, a son of David, came near 
starving before Mr. Teater arrived with his load of provisions. 
When this supply was exhausted David Wilson Jr. went 
to Canisteoon horseback and bought two bushels of rye at $1.75 
per bushel. He stopped at Almond on his way back and had it 
ground. Joseph Bledsoe, a native of Virginia, removed to Al- 
mond at the close of the war of 1812,. in which he was engaged. 
He was taken prisoner and confined at Montreal. While in 
prison he was taken sick and sent to hospital and before his 
recovery peace was declared. He moved there with a comrade 
about 1815, and a year later married Miss Betsy Teater, daugh- 
ter of John Teater, the sub-land agent. la 1820 he removed

with his fatnilv to lot 61 in this town, where he lived till his 
death in 1852." He was something of a hunter and one cold 
winter day soon after coming home he took down his gun, in- 
tending to be gone only a short time. He soon struck the track 
of a deer, which he followed till near dark. He shot and skinned 
the animal and started for home, which he reached about mid- 
night nearly frozen to death. At another time, while he was 
on Cryder Creek in the vicinity of WhitesviUe, his attention 
was attracted by the loud barking of a dog near by. Proceed- 
ing in the direction of the noise he soon discovered a large buck 
deer in the creek and a dog on shore barking at him. The deer 
stood in a hole where the water was about three feet deep. Mr. 
Bledsoe first tried to drive him out, but he would not move- 
He then waded toward him and endeavored to frighten him by 
throwing up his hands and shouting. When he neared the 
middle of the stream the deer turned upon and leaped toward 
him. Bledf^oe, who was a large and powerful man — standing 
six feet and three inches and weighing 230 pounds — caught the 
deer by the horns and plunging his head beneath the water, 
held liim there till he was drowned. Luther Green, who was 
born about thirty miles below Albany, Aug. 29, J 796, removed 
from Madison Co., and settled on lot 116, in the forepart of 
April, 1820, and still lives there. He sowed the first timothy 
seed in town soon after coming in, on lot 117, for Wm. Hamil- 
ton. Col. Wm. W. Reynolds, the first settler south of Cryder 
Creek, was born at Hopkinton, R. I., in 1798, and removed with 
his father, when a lad, to Otsego Co. In the summer of 1820 
he came to this town, took up land on lots 28 and 17, and com- 
menced a clearing. He returned in the fall and remained all 
winter, and the next spring he came on with his sister. Miss 
Sally Reynolds. They stopped at WhitesviUe, at the house of 
Nathaniel Covill, till their house was ready for occupancy, and 
on the 20th of April they moved into it. The day previous the 
snow fell to a depth of two feet, and soon after they started a 
terrific thunder storm set in, so that they were completely 
drenched belbre they reached their home. There was no road, 
and they picked their way through the snow with difliculty. 
In 1822, his father, Wm. Reynolds, joined him. In 1824 they 
built a tannery upon the farm, to which a shoe shop was after- 
ward added. These were the first institutions of the kind in 
town. The colonel died here in 1859. His wife, Mary, survives 
him and still lives upon the old homestead. Shubael Spicer, a 
native of Conn., removed from Otsego Co. to the town of Al- 
fred in 1818, and in the summer of 1820 to lot 64, in this town. 
He subsequently removed to Wisconsin, where he died. Seth 
Spicer, brother to Shubael, was born in the same State, came

from the same county, and settled on the same lot, early in 
December of the same year. He took an article for 103 1-2 
acres, which he cleared and on which he lived till his retirement 
from active husiness in 1858. He is still living with his eldest 
son on Cryder Creek. Asa Clark, who was born in Cato, Cay- 
uga Co., in September, 1802, removed from Hornellsville, to 
this town in March, 1820. He lived with his grandfiither, John 
Teater, two years, and subsequently with his step-father Joseph 
Bledsoe. Being a single man he worked among the settlers 
till 1824, when he married and took up land on lot 40. He 
lived there three years, when he removed to Canisteo, and, after 
three years' residence there, to Alfred. He has lived in town 
most of the time since. Nathan Stillman, a native of Rhode 
Island, moved in from Madison Co. and settled on lot 103 in 
the spring of 1820, and lived on the same farm till his death. 
Joseph Fulmer was born on the Atlantic Ocean in 1770, while 
his parents were on their way to the ''new world." His pa- 
rents settled in Northampton Co., Pa., where he was brought 
up. In 1812 he removed with his family to Tompkins Co., in 
this State, and in the fall of 1820, to this town, locating on lot 
111, where he commenced a clearing and during the winter put 
up a log house. During the winter also his sou Wm., who was 
born in Northampton Co., Pa., May 11, 1800, and still lives on 
the old homestead here, moved in three or four loads of 
goods. In the month of March the family was moved in. 
Joseph resided on the place till his death in 1852. John 
Hulloway took up land on lot 107 and settled there in 
1820. Joseph Remington, from the 'town of Middlesex, 
Yates Co., settled on lot 104 the same year. Abram and Caleb 
Lewis and Elijah Robinson settled on lo,t 18 in 1821. Sylvester 
P. MM.xson, from Madison Co., settled on lot 125 in the spring 
of 1821. A year or two later he built a distillery, which he 
run about three years. He lived here about twenty years and 
then moved west. John P. Livermore, a native of W nd- 
ham county, Vermont, moved in from Madison county 
in July, 1821, and purchased land of Isaiah Green, at 
Greens Corners, on lot 117, on which he made a clearing and 
built a house. In November he went to Alfred after his wife, 
where he left her in July, and returned with her the 9th of that 
month. In the fall of 1822 he was appointed justice of the 
peace, which office he held for twenty-eight years. He was also 
fcupervisor of the town for three years. He served as a soldier 
near the close of the war of 1812. He still lives upon the farm 
first taken up. N. H. Fortner, a native of Tompkins Co. moved 
into the town with his father, Feb. 16, 1821. In 1833 they 
removed to the town of Willing, settling on lot 138, where the

former has since lived. Abel Traik, a native of Rhode Island, 
noved in from Yates Co, in the early part of !821. He returned 
to that county after two or three years. Matthew Wilson, a 
native of Franklin Co., Mass., removed thence to this town and 
settled on lot 71, May 16, 1821, where he remained till April 
11, 1870, when he removed to Hallsport, where he now resides. 
He held the office of justice of the peace sixteen years and was 
commissioned Lieut. Colonel in the State militia by Gov. Wni. 
L. Marcy. His son Stephen, who came with him at the age of 
three years, lived in town till i853, when he removed to Willing 
where he now resides. Beriah Crandall was born in East Win- 
tield, Herkimer Co., Aug. 5, 1798, and at the age of sixteen was 
apprenticed to learn the trade of tanner and currier in Scho- 
harie Co. Having served his apprenticeship he married Par- 
melia Andrews, and in the winter of 1820-21, he left his wife 
at his fathers' and started with his pack on his back for the 
town of Independence, where he had relatives in the family of 
David Wilson, with whom he stayed on his arrival here in 
February of the latter year. He selected 200 acres of land on 
lot 81 and immediately commenced a clearing, the whole Wilson 
force assisting hira the first day. He chopped about four acres, 
atid by exchanging work for teams and other help, cleared it 
off. He planted some corn and potatoes and in the fall put in 
two acres of winter wheat. He next turned his attention 
to tant.ing a few hides and skins which had been taken from 
some cows and young cattle. He made some troughs from the 
trunk of a large pine and drew them to the place of operations. 
He next immersed the hides in an excavation from which clay 
had been taken for the manufacture of bricks and which had 
filled with water. He then went to Alfred with horse and bag 
and procured a bushel of lime warm from the kiln. The" b.'ani- 
ing knife process'' was performed with a draw shave with one 
handle off. A quantity of hemlock bark was broken fine upon 
the end of a beech log by the aid of shoe hammer and put iiito 
the troughs previously prepared, with a "handler" at one end. 
The hides and skins, when prepared, were introduced to the 
handler and soon put on the appearance of leather; and when 
tanned made excellent stock which was made into boots and 
shoes. During the season of 1821 he built a log house and cut 
miles of new road, so as to be able to get in and out of his place 
in different directions. He worked at shoe making nights and 
mornings and rainy days. While engaged in this vocation on 
a scaffold over a horse stable, Polly Wilson (now the widow 
Reynolds,) taught a school — the first one taught in town, so 
says Mr. Crandall — in the stable below. In October he returned 
to his wife and friends iu the east. He worked at shoemaking

till the next February, when his father gave him a yoke of oxen 
and sleigh, which enabled him to move his wife and effects to 
his eastern home. Among his effects were his currying tools, 
some oil and lampblack, with which, early the next spring, he 
finished his leather, which had been laid in bark in the troughs 
and sunk in the ground during his absence. The next year his 
brother Almon joined him in business, and they built a tan- 
nery, set up a bark mill, which was run by horse power, and the 
tanning business was largely increased. His brother continued 
with him eight years, when he bought him out and conducted 
the business alone one year. He then exchanged his farm with 
John Teater for a farm of fifty acres in the village of Whites- 
ville, where he removed with his effects in June, 1832, and dur- 
ing that year built a two story frame house, a tannery and barn. 
The tannery was run by water power, the wheel and fixtures 
being made by David Wilcox and Nathaniel Covil. He tanned 
from 200 to 300 hides and 800 to 1,100 skins annually. He 
conducted the business several years, (part of the time in part- 
nership with Lorenzo D. Brown, whom he had brought up from 
the age of twelve years, and whose parents lived in Bradford 
Co., Pa.,) till the rotting of the building at the foundation and 
the failure of water led them to abandon it. They bought an 
adjoining farm and have made farming their business to the 
present time. Jesse and Philip Haseltine, natives of New 
Hampshire, came in from Yates Co., and settled on lot 74 in 
the spring of 1822. They built a rude log house, cut, logged 
and cleared three acres of second growth timber that had grown 
in an old windfall, and did it without the aid of a team. Their 
dishes consisted of wooden troughs, from one of which, with 
legs attached, they were accustomed to eat pudding and milk, 
leaving no team to carry their grain to mill they ground it by 
pounding it in a trough with a couple of drag teeth, to which 
they attached handles. They lived in this manner till their 
father and the rest of the family came in the following fall. 
Jesse commenced a clearing for himself on the same lot in 1825 ; 
and Ezekiel, who came with his father, commenced a clearing 
on lot 75 the same year. Samuel remained on the old home- 
stead. Gordon Stout, a native of New Jersey, removed thence 
to Pennsylvania, and in the spring of 1822 to lot 128 in this 
town. (Jaleb and Samuel H. Riggs, brothers, were natives of 
Rhode Island, and moved in from Yates Co. and settled on lot 
106, April 2, 1822. Caleb was a single man and boarded with 
his brother. He made a clearing and built a house, and in 1824 
he returned to Yates Co., married, and brought in his wife. In 
1853 he removed to Yates Co., where he died in 1863. William 
Briggs, a native of the same State, moved in from the same

removed from Madison Co. and settled on lot 105 in May 1833. 
He was a surveyor and for twenty years did all the surveying in 
this town and considerable in those adjoining. He has 
since lived in the town with the exception of two years 
spent in Hume. Seven children who came in then or be- 
fore still live near here. Edmund Livermore came from 
Brookfield, Madison Co., with his father and settled in the 
north part of the town in July, 1823. He remained six years 
aiul then went back to Madison county, returning again 
in the fall of 183-1, since which time he has resided here. Ebone- 
zer Richmond was born in Oneida Co., Feb. 12, 1793, and 
moved into this town from Steuben Co. in January, 1823, bring- 
ing with him eleven head of cattle and the same number of 
sheep. He had been in the preceding fall and located land and 
l)uilt a house. Having no hay he browsed his cattle and sheep 
till spring. In the spring nine of his sheep were killed by 
wolves. He died on the place Jan. 31, 1869. His wife, who 
was born in Columbia Co., Dec. 27, 1797, and came in with 
him, still lives in the old homestead with her son. David S.

and run the saw mill till the spring of 1828, when he took in 
as partner Avery Rice, who had a carding machine, which they 
put in the mill. Mr. Covil commenced the erection of a grist 
mill at Whitesville in the summer of 1824, which was finished 
early in the fall. James Maxwell built one at Spring Mills 
about the same time, but got his in operation first. It was the 
first grist mill in town. Conrad Mingus, a native of Pennsyl- 
vania, moved in from Steuben Co. and settled on lot 114, April 
15, 1823. He lived there twelve years and returned to Pennsyl- 
vania, where he died. Daniel Dexter came on in March, 1823, 
but after three weeks returned to Utica. In 1833 he again j 
moved in and bought a farm, and has since lived here, with tliej 
exception of five years spent in Bloomfield. John Wheeler, a j 
Welshman, who had followed sailing several years, settled in i 
the west part of the town in 1823, and remained till 1845, when} 
he moved west and died a year later. Simeon Wilcox came in i 
Feb. 1823. His wife, Eunice, who came with him, is still living

ten of whom are living in the county. The eleventh (Harvey) 
lived in town till his death four years ago. John Hill, from 
Pennsylvania, settled on lot 64, in March, 1824, and has since 
lived here.' Noel Jones was born near Troy and in the spring 
of 1824 he settled in the south part of the town on Cryder 
Creek, on lot 25, where, the next, year, he built a grist mill, in 
which Luther Green had an interest, and in 1826 a carding 
machine, owned by Avery Rice, was added and run during the 
summer, and in 1828 was removed to Alvah Woods' grist mill, 
where it was run a number of years. His son Noel came in 
with his fatlier, with whom he remained till he attained his 
majority, when he settled on lot 41. After a little he took up 
lot 76, which he cleared up. In 1863 he sold out and located 
near Whitesville, He soon after bid in the mail route from 
Wellsville to Wbitesville, which was then run serai-weekly. 
The people had long felt the need of a daily mail and had re- 
peatedly petitioned the Department for its establishment with- 
out avail. Mr. Jones, by permit, carried the mail daily for three 
years, receiving during that time compensation for the semi- 
weekly trip only. At the end ot that time a daily mail was 
established and has since been continued. Rev. Nathaniel Per-

moved to lot 90 in this town, bringing with him ayoke of oxen 
and two cows, but not a shilling in money. Having no grain 
1 he and several other settlers went down Cowanesque Creek, 
I below Knoxville, Tioga Co., Pa., to try to buy some on 
'■I credit. They found a farmer who had a surplus and was will- 
ing to supply their wants providing they got a letter of recom- 
i; raendation from James Maxwell of Spring Mills, an acquaint- 
I ance of his, who moved in shortly previous and opened the first 
store at Spring Mills, but remained only a few years. They 
obtained the requisite papers and were supplied with the mucli 
needed grain, for which they paid the following year by helping 
their benefactor with his harvest. Mr. Babcuck, who has lived 
in the town since he first came, thinks he could not have sub-

ville by Nathaniel Covil and Tower Stetson, cousins, who came 
in fromOntario Co. in the spring of 1820, the latter of whom re- 
turned the same fall and never became a permanent settler. Au- 
thorities differ in regard to thedate of its erection, the four whom 
we have consulted variously ascribing it to each of the four 
years from 1820 to 1823. 

The first religious services were held at the house of Samuel S. White, 
Jan. 1, 1820, by Rev. Daniel Babcock, a Seventh Day Baptist. 

The First M. E. Church of WTiitesviUewas organized with about twenty- 
five members, in September, 1831, by Rev. J. D. McKenney, the first pas- 
tor. The church edifice was erected in 1838 at a cost of $1,100. It will 
seat 250 persons. The Society, numbering 110, is under the pastoral care 
of Rev. J. Criswell, our informant. The Church property is valued at 
$4,000— church $2,500 and parsonage $1,500. Three of the original mem-

NEW HUDSON. 



NEW HUDSON was formed from Rush ford, as Haight 
April 10, 1825, and its name changed April 4, 1837.* The 
first town meeting was held at the house of Orange Hart, May 
3, 1825, and the following named officers were chosen : James 
Swain, Supervisor; John C. McKeen, Town Clerk; Silas Gere, 
James Jammerson and Elizur Beckwith, Assessors; Jacob B. 
McElheney, Samuel Blodget Jr. and Samuel Bell, Commissioners 
of Hiytnvays; James Davidson, Amos Rose and Lucius Frost,

Commissioners of Schools ; Alden Griffith, Collector; Alden 
Griffith and Brown Demmick, Constables; and Samuel Blodget, 
Elias Oheesman and John C. McKeen, Inspectors of Schools. 

The town lies upon the west border of the county, north of 
the center, and contains 22,200 acres. The surface is a hilly 
upland, broken by valleys extending north-east and south-west. 
The highest summits are in the north part. It is drained by 
the head waters of Oil, Caneadea, Black, Crawford and Rush 
Creeks. The first two rise so near together, and so nearly upon 
the same level, that in times of high freshets the waters min- 
gle, tishes pass from one gulf to the other and both have the 
appearance of springing from the same fountain, yet they flow 
in opposite directions, one to the Gulf of Mexico and the other 
to the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Tlie soil is a gravelly loam. 
Dairying is the leading pursuit, there being no less than five 
cheese factories in the town. 

The PeHit Cheese Factory was built in 1873, in which year it received the 
milk of 235 cows and made 80,0UU pounds of cheese. 

Simpson Cheese Factory during the year 1878 received 1,616,063 pounds 
of milk from 450 cows, and made 163,247 pounds of cheese, for which 
$20,801.38 was received. The amount paid for making was $1.62^ per 
hundred. 

Thompson Cheese Factory, owned by Frank Pettit, received in 1878,739,- 
344 pounds of milk from 220 cows, and for the cheese produced tJiere- 
from $9,970.52. The average price per pound received during the season 
was $.1318. The amount paid for making was $1.50 per hundred. 

RaiDSon Creamery and Cheese Factory was built in 1870. In 1873 1,026,- 
220 pounds of milk were received from 350 cows, and 95,376 pounds of 
cheese and 10,657 pounds of butter produced. The amount received for 
cheese was $11,623 22, and for butter, $3,056,76. There was de- 
vided among the patrons $12,929.83. The price for making cheese 
per hundred was $1.50, and for butter, $3. The number of pounds 
of milk consumed in the manufacture of one pound of cheese was 10.76, 
and of one pound of butter, 9.66.

*The name of Haight, -was derived from an individual of that name who agreed to 
donate lOU acres of land for the benefit of the town on condition that it bore his 
nime. When a deed of the land was asked for he refused to give it lest the name 
might subsequently be changed. He expressed a willingness to give a contract 
which should guarantee the land to the town so long as the latter retained his name. 
The people resented the parsimonious vanity by changing the name.

and to lot 33 in the south-west part of this town in 1822, and 
has since lived here. Mr. Clayson says that once when he was 
drawing logs a deer chased by dogs came up to his oxen and 
stopped, seemingly for protection. He put his arms around 
the deer's neck and held him till a rope was procured and put 
around his horns, when he was taken to the barn. Jacob Mc

and is divided into narrow ridges by the valleys of the streams 
tributary to Caneadea Creek, the principal stream, which flows 
east a littTe south of the center and divides it into two distinct 
parts. Quarries of building stone, several sulphur springs, and 
a brown mineral paint resembling ocher are found in the town. 
The soil is a shaly loam underlaid by hardpan. The dairying 
interest of this town is important and increasing. As much 
cheese is made in this town as in any in the county.

Vt., with an ox team, the journey occupying twenty-two days. 
He settled on lot 31. Bethiah Belknap and Samuel Gordon, 
born this year, (1810) the former in the .spring and the latter 
on the 12th of June, were the first births in town. John Cor- 
don and Samuel Hardy, from Vermont, came in 1811, and loca- 
ted, the former on lot 29 and the latter on lot 37. Tarbel and 
Wm. Gordon settled about the same time. Settlements were 
also made this latter year by Daniel and David Vaughn, natives 
of Washington Co., and Ezra Lewis and father, from Mass. 
I'he Vaughns are now living in the town of New Hudson. 
David came with his father from Cayuga Co., and moved to 
New Hudson in 1830. Daniel moved there in 1832. Ezra 
Lewis, who also removed to New Hudson, (where he is now liv- 
ing,) in 1824, says when he first came in here he went six weeks 
without bread, having no wheat, nor money to buy it with. The 
first marriage occurred in 1811. The contracting parties were 
Wm. liawson and Lawrence Swift. Wilson Gordon, a native of 
Covendish, Windsor Co., Vt, settled on lot 4, March 20, 1812. 
James Gordon came the same year and settled on lot 55. He 
came with an ox team and was twenty-one days in completing 
the journey. Abraham Crabb, a native of Herkimer Co., and 
now residing in New Hudson, also came here in 1812 and set- 
tled in the south-west part. Roderick Banester, from Vermont, 
who married Esther, daughter of Eneas Garey, the pioneer set-

1813, The latter two came in company from Connecticut on 
foot. Woodworth was a native of Coventry, Conn. He located 
on lot 28. He says three brush heaps and they only then marked 
the site of Rushford village. When he came the Indians had 
underbrushed the woods where he is living, along Caneadea 
Creek, and occupied it as a camping ground. Plina Banester 
taught the first school in the winter of 1813-14. In this year 
also (1813) the first grist mill was built by a Mr. Warren. 
"This was a very small mill, the bolting cloths of which were 
made of book muslin, and the upper stone was hung upon a 
spindle at the end of the shaft of a tub wheel, and no interme- 
diate gearing. The first miller was drowned in 1815, while re- 
pairing his mill dam." Pomeroy Johnson came from Vermont 
in 1814 and settled a little north of the center of the town. 



BUSnFORD. 127 



Elijah Lyman, a native of WeathersGeld, Vt;, moved in from 
Springville, Pa., the same year and settled about two miles 
north of Rushford village. In 1815 Levi Benjamin, from Ver- 
mont, settled on lot 30. He was the hrst postmaster at Eush- 
ford, and kept the first inn a little north of that village. In 
1816 the first saw mill was built by Mathew P. Cadyand others, 
on Caneadea Creek; and in this year also the first store was 
opened by Judge James McCall. His store was the first framed 
building in town. Says a writer in the Allegany County Advo- 
cate of April 5i, 1869. " The venerable Judge James McCall, the 
earlv merchant, was State Senator for a number of years, and 
filled many other Important public offices, and was conspicuous 
in the various enterprises that have contributed to the prosper- 
ity of the place. He raised a family of thirteen children, 
twelve of whom, at least, lived to become married and settled. 
The cold season, 1816, causedalmost an entire loss of the small 
crops of the new settlers here, and in most of the new settle- 
ments, an extreme scarcity of provisions prevailed. The Judge 
owning a mill, controlled nearly all the grain, and in the kind 
exercise of his monopoly, he gave his miller orders to sell no 
more than forty pounds of flour or meal to any one man, and 
iiot to sell any to those who had teams and the means to go to 
the older settlements for breadstuflf. Afterward, when his sup- 
plies were reduced, he limited the amount to be sold to any one 
person, to twenty pounds. Thus the poor and destitute were 
partially provided for until the next harvest." Settlements 
were made in this year (1816) by James Kendall, a native of 
Mass., who came with his family from Windsor, with an ox 
team, and located on lot 44 ; by David J. Board, who came from 
Castleton, Vt., settled on lot 22, and established the first black-

Garey, is said to be the first woman who slept in the town of 
Rushford. Abel and James Tarbell, brothers, and Nathan C. 
Kimball and family, natives of New Hampshire, settled in 1820, 
the two former on lot 53, and the latter on lot 37. The Tar- 
bells moved in from Vermont with ox teams and when they 
arrived they had together but one shilling. Kimball came from 
the town of Catharine, Schuyler Co., and followed the business 
of a dry goods merchant. He died March 10, 1855. Samuel 
White came from Vermont and settled on lot 28, in 1821 ; and

WELLSVILLE— WEST ALMOND. 



Hakes <& Williams' steam saw mill, bearing the names of the 
proprietors, is situated on Dykes Creek aud the ErieE,. R., one 
mile east of Wellsville, and is capable of cutting three million 
feet of lumber and one million each of lath and shingles per 
annum. 

Meads' steam saw mill, situated about three miles east of 
Wellsville, cuts annually about 400,000 feet of lumber. 

Lewis' steam saw mill, situated at Stannards Corners, in the 
south part, cuts annually about one million feet of lumber and 
one and one-half million latli. 

Johnsons' steam saw mill, situated one and one-half miles west 
of Wellsville, annually cuts about 1,000,000 feet of lumber 
and 300,000 lath. 

Charles Dvlce <& Co.'s steam satv mills are situated on the Gene- 
see, one mile south of Wellsville, and cut about 1,500,000 feet 
of lumber, 500,000 shingles and 800,000 laths per annum. 

Wellsville cheese factory, situated one mile east of Wellsville, 
was built in 1874, by Messrs. Hakes, Hills & Co., and is capaci- 
tated to use the milk of 600 cows. 

Settlement was commenced in the spring of 1795, by Nathan- 
iel Dyke from Tioga Point, Pa., but originally from Connecti- 
cut, Avho located in the eastern part of the town. Mr. Dyke 
was educated at Yale College, and during the Revolutionary 
war was attached to the staff of Gen. Warren at Boston, and 
subsequently to that of Gen. Washington. Settlements were 
made more numerously in the valley of the Genesee about the 
beginning of the present century. Wm. Foster and his son 
Asa came in from Onondaga Co. in 1816 and located in the 
south part of the town, near Stannards Corners. They were 
the first settlers in that locality. Asa was a trapper and hun- 
ter and has since lived in that locality. The first birth in town 
was that of Rachel Dyke, in 1805 ; and the first death, that of 
Thomas Brink, in 1807. The first school was taught rear the 
east line, by Ithamer Brookings, in 1814. The first saw mill 
and grist mill were built on Dyke Creek, near the east line, by 
Nathaniel Dyke, in 1803. 

The Mrst M. E. Churchof WeUsville, the first Church' formed in the town, 
was organized with thirteen members, about 1830, by Rev. A. N. Fill- 
more, the first pastor. Their house of worship, which will seat 350 to 
400 persons, was erected in 1852, at a cost of $3000, which is one fifth 
the present value of Church property. The Society consists of 155 mem- 
bers and is under the pastoral care of Rev. D. Nutten, our informant. 

WEST ALMOND was formed from Angelica, Almond 
and Alfred, April 15, 1833. The first town meeting was held 
at the house of Elijah Horton, March 1, 1836, and the follow-

ing named officers were elected : David Brown, Supervisor ; 
Wm. Dean, Town Clerk ; Ira Baker, Collector; Caleb Knight, 
John Engle and Sidney Marble, Justices; Philip McHenry, 
Joseph Hodges and Henry Lewis, Assessors; Luther Dean, 
George B. Engle and Orange Sabin, Inspectors of Common 
Schools ; Newel Ives, George W. McHenry and Isaac Blinn, 
Road Commissioners; Joseph W. Engle, John Lockhart and 
Abijah Brown, School Commissioners ; Nicholas Trimmer, Ira

Overseer of the Poor ; and Dennis Ricket, Sealer of Weights and 
Measures. 

Itisanfnterior town lying a little north-eastof the center of the 
county, and contains 32,109 acres. The surface is a broken and 
hilly upland. It is drained by Angelica, Philips, Karr Valley 
and Black creeks, all of which rise wholly or partially in the 
town, and flow in narrow ravines, bordered by steep hillsides. 
The soil is a clayey loam, best adapted to dairying, which is the 
chief pursuit of the farmers. 

The proposed Rochester, Nunda & Pennsylvania R. R. crosses 
the north-west corner of the town, in the valley of Black Creek. 

The population in 1870 was 799; all of whom were white 
and all, except twenty-five, native. 

West Almokd (p. o.) is situated on Angelica Creek, a little 
east of the center of the town, and contains two churches, one 
hotel, two stores, two blacksmith shops, a cheese factory and 
sixteen or twenty dwellings. 

Settlement was commenced at the center in 1816, by Daniel 
Atherton. Jason Bixby, Isaac Pray and Daniel Hooker settled 
on the road leading from Almond to Angelica, and John Alfred, 
from New Jersey, near the north line, previous to 1818. 
David H. Carpenter, a native of Elmira, Chemung Co., 
removed with his father's family to Angelica in 1814, and 
about 1819 to Black Creek, in this town, where the family were 
the first settlers. After attaining his majority, he and his 
brother Ellison, bought a piece of wild land about a mile dis- 
tant from the old homestead; but Ellison soon after sold his 
interest, leaving Davis to occupy it alone. At the age of about 
thirty-four or 'thirty-five he married Miss Elizabeth Warner of 
Angelica, by whom he had eight children, one of whom died 
wlien a year or two old. Later in life he became financially 
involved and lost most of his property in satisfying the de- 
mands of his creditors. Being a man of irritable temper this 
misfortune made a deep and lasting impression on his mind 
and character. In April, 1863, he had some difficulty with a 
young man named Timothy S. Gregory, whom he shot, inflict-

ing a slight wound in the face, for which he was tried in July 
of the same year, convicted and sentenced to three years im- 
prisonment at Auburn. He was discharged shortly previous to 
the expiration of his term on account of good behavior. Sept. 
25, 1868, he shot and killed his brother Ellison, with whom he 
was living, while the latter was in bed. He was arrested and 
taken to Angelica on the 26th and committed on the 28th. He 
was brought to trial at Belmont the 25th of the following Feb- 
ruary and after a trial of two days was convicted and sentenced 
to be hung on Friday, April 16, 1869, which sentence was car- 
ried into effect at the time designated. Seth Marvin, Chester 
Bennett, Eichard Carpenter, John Patterson and Jasper White, 
the latter from Vermont, were among the first settlers in the 
town. John, Joseph and Matthias Engle, from Livingston Co., 
and Oliver and Daniel Dean, from New Jersey, settled in the 
town in 1824, and Alvin Stewart, from Massachusetts, in 1825. 
The first birth was that of Jerusha, daughter of Daniel Ather- 
ton, in' the fall of 1817; and the first death that of Jason Bix- 
by, in the spring of 1818. The first school was taught in the 
east part by Jasper White, in 1818. The first inn was kept at 
the center, by Daniel Atherton, in 1817 ; and the first store, at 
the same place, by Samuel M. Eddy, in 1832. The first saw 
mill was built on Angelica Creek by Enoch Hawks, in 1833. 

The West Almond. Baptist Church was organized with eighty-eight mem" 
bers, iu 1835, by the unification of the Angelica and Alfred Churches, 
both then existing iu the present limits of West Almond, the former of 
which was organized with nine members, Oct. 9, 1824, and the latter, 
with seventeen members, Dec. 3, 1831 . The first liouse of worship was 
erected in 1848; the present one, which will seat 275 persons, in 1861-2, 
at a cost of $2,000, the present value of Church property. The first pastor 
was Rev. J. P. Evans; the present one is Rev. Mr. Patterson. The present 
number of members is sixty. {^Information furnisJied by Olive Dean. 

The M. E. Church, at the center, was organized with thirty members, 
in 1861, by Rev. W. Post, the first pastor; and the church edifice, which 
will seat 250 persons, was erected the same year, at a cost of $2,000. The 
Society, numbering twenty-five, is under the spiritual tutelage of Rev. A. T. 
West," and its property is valued at $3,000. [Information furnished by

WILLING was formed from Independence and Scio, Nov. 
19, 1851. Alma was taken off Nov. 23, 1854, and a part of 
Wellsville Nov. 22, 1855. The first town meeting was held 
March 2, 1852, and the following named officers were elected : 
John A. Folaud, Supervisor ; Ozias Yale, Toivn Clerk ; Fielden 
Chapman, Daniel P. Witter and A. Hurlbutt, Justices ; Daniel 
Wilcox, Superintendent of Common Schools ; Samuel B. Stebbins 
and Charles Eogers, Assessors; Asa Parks, Geo, M. Arnold and 
Oliver Ackerman, Commissioners of Highways ; Amasa Ellis,

Collector ; L. A. Jenison, David Dunham, Charles Weed and 
George M. Gate, Constables', Ambrose Strait, Jabez Card and 
Wm. Wilcox, Inspectors of Elections; and Jared Stillman, Over- 
seer of the Poor. 

The town lies upon the south border of the county, east of 
the center and contains 22,150 acres. Its surface is a bro- 
ken and mountainous region, the highest summits being 800 
to 1,200 feet above the valleys. The streams are Genesee Kiver 
and Cryder, Chenunda and Fords creeks, all flowing in narrow 
valleys bordered by steep mountain declivities. Good springs 
of cold soft water abound in nearly every section of the town. 
The soil is a clay and sandy loam. The people are engaged in 
farming and lumbering, dairying and the culture of potatoes 
being the chief branches of agriculture. Farming is the lead- 
ing pursuit east of the Genesee, though lumbering is still car- 
ried on to some extent along the river. West of the river lum- 
bering is the principal branch of industry, and cutting, peeling 
and drawing bark to the Wellsville tanneries in summer and 
cutting and hauling logs in winter mainly engages the attention 
of the people, though agriculture is pursued to a considerable 
extent. 

The population of the town in 1870 was 1,199; of whom all 
were white, 1,093, native, and 106 foreign. 

Beanville, (Shongo p. o.) situated on the east bank of Gene- 
see River, in the south part of the town, contains a school, ho- 
tel, three groceries, a grist mill, saw mill, wagon shop, two 
blacksmith shops, a shoe shop, twenty-three dwellings and 
eighty-five inhabitants. 

Allen W. and John Giflford put up the first dwelling — a log 
house — a little east of the village, and E. C. Stephens and Allen 
W. Gifford erected the first framed dwelling about 1842. 

Hallsport, (p. o.) situated in the north-east corner of the 
town, contains a grocery, shoe shop, blacksmith shop, cheese 
factory, a saw and shingle mill of small capacity, a small botanic 
distillery, a drug store, dental office, thirteen dwellings and 
about fifty inhabitants. 

John Cline was the first settler here. He located on lot 207 
in or before 1831. Calvin Hall, an early settler from whom the 
place derives its name, opened the first hotel in 1838. It was 
kept for about twenty-five years. Hall also put up the first 
framed building — a hotel — about 1840. 

Standards Corners, (p. o.) situated in the north-west part 
on the line of Wellsville, is a hamlet. 

Th»i settlement of this town is of comparatively recent date. 
The first of which we have information was made by John Ford, 



132-D WILLING. 

a native of Ireland, who removed from Connecticut to the town 
of Friendship in May, 1818, and thence to this town in 1819. 
He located on lot 43 and also took up lot 44. He lived there 
eleven years, when he sold his improvements to his son-in-law, 
Asa Parks, and moved to Ohio. In 1842 he returned and took 
up his residence with his son-in-law, with whom he lived till 
his death in 1855, at the age of eighty-eight years. He was a sol- 
dier in the war of the Revolution. The next settler of whom 
there is any record was Elijah Robinson, from Brookfield, Madi- 
son Co., who located on the Genesee, adjacent to the Pennsyl- 
vania line, in 1835. He built a saw mill some fifteen or more 
feet south of the line and made other improvements during a 
period of four or five years, when he became deranged and left 
the town. Davis Parks removed from Genesee Forks, a few 
miles above in Potter Co., Pa., and settled on lot 38, in 1827. 
He remained three or four years, then moved to Andover and 
from there to the west. John Graves, a native of Harpersburg, 
Del., settled on lot 33, in September, 1828. In 1830 he removed 
across the river to lot 15, where he remained till his death in 
1862. His sons, Abner and Henry, and daughters, Mrs. Sarah 
Rogers and Mrs. Maria Richardson, have since resided in the 
town. Asa Parks, a native of Hartford Co., Conn., moved into 
the county from Ohio this same year, 1828, and hired out to a 
farmer in Independence. In October, 1829, he removed to this 
town and settled on the west bank of the Genesee, on lot 43, 
where he remained two years, when he removed to lot 82, on the 
Houeoye road. In 1833 he moved to lot 70, and after three 
years to lot 181, where he has since resided. Mr. Parks' article 
for land (lot 43) was the first taken from the land office in this 
town. At the time he came here, he says, there were but two 
log houses in Wellsville. In 1830 Jeremiah and Seth Graves, 
the former from Addison, Steuben Co., and the latter from Pot- 
ter Co., Pa., settled on lot 32, and Hugh Burroughs, from Dela- 
ware Co., on lot 1G2. Jeremiah Graves remained about eight 
years, when he removed to the town of Independence. Seth 
Graves was a native of Connecticut. He came here in April 
and remained till his death. His son, George, and a daughter, 
Mrs. Marinda Briggs, came with him and still live in the town. 
For some years after their settlement game, consisting of bears, 
deer and wolves, was plenty. The bears and wolves were es- 
pecially troublesome, and their sheep suffered largely from their 
depredations. It is related that a year or two before the settle- 
ment of the Graveses a man named Chester Giddings, who 
lived just over the line in Pennsylvania, while traveling through 
this section on foot, was overtaken by darkness a little south of 
Beanville and startled by the howls of a pack of wolves near 



WILLING. 132— E 



by. He attempted to climb a small cherry tree not far distant, 
but so great was his fright that, although he supposed he had 
reached a height which secured him from their attack, his feet 
actually rested upon the ground, as he discovered when he es- 
sayed to descend after the howling of the wolves had died away 
in the distance. The tree was ever after called " Giddings 
tree." George Graves says he has known his father to kill five 
bears in a day's hunt and six to eight deer at other times. 
Henry Hagadorn and Lot Harris settled in 1831, the former on 
lot 18 and the latter on lot 17. Henry Winn, a native of Fish- 
kill, Dutchess Co., removed from Delaware Co. to Wellsviile in 
1828, and thence to Willing in 1832, locating on lot 42. His 
daughter, Mrs. Abner Graves, who came with him, still resides 
in the town. Stillman Rogers, a native of Otsego Co., settled 
on lot 12, in October of the latter year, and has since lived in 
the town. Ozias Yale, a native of Oxford, Chenango Co., set- 
tled with his family on lot 43, on the farm where he now lives, 
in .June, 1833; and Nathan Woodcock, a native of Cheshire 
Co., N. H., settled on lot 189 in tbe same month and year, and 
remained till his death in July, 1871. His son, Nathan R. and 
daughters, Mrs. David Wilson and Mrs. Nicholas Fortner, still 
reside in the town. Chas. Rogers Sen. and Enos Gilford came 
in 1834, the former in April. Rogers was a native of Chenango 
Co., and settled on lot 38. Gifford was a native of Rhode Is- 
land. He removed first to the town of Independence about 
1822, and located in the east part, one and one-half miles north 
of Whitesville. In 1835 Jacob Truex, a native of Albany Co., 
settled on lot 23, where, with the exception of two years spent 
at Black Creek, he has since resided. Augustus Beach, a native 
Connecticut, and Rev. John Walden, from Otsego Co., settled 
the same year, the former in February, on lot 1G3, and the lat- 
ter on lot 134. Beach cut a road a mile through the woods to 
his land. He had but one neighbor within two miles of him.. 
His sons, Columbus and Azariah, came with him and still live 
here. Clark Witter and Josa Butler came in 1836 and settled, 
the former on lot 45 and the latter on lot 27. Butler was a na- 
tive of Conn. After three years he removed to lot 124, where 
he remained till 1861, when he went west. His children, Aza- 
riah, Luther, Mrs. L. Fuller and Mrs. Laura Goodrich, still live 
here. Pardon Gifford, a native of Rhode Island, Chauncey Har- 
ris and David F. Peet, natives of Connecticut, and Anthony R. 
Foster, a native of Madison Co., settled here in 1837, Gifford on 
lot 1, Harris on lot 117, Peet on lot 137, and Foster, in 1840, on 
lot 139, where he has since resided. After four years Gifford 
moved up the river. He now lives east of Beanville, aged 79 
years. Harris came in the month of May and remained till his 



132— F WILLING. 



death. His only son, Silas S., now lives on the old homestead. 
Peet came in from Otsego Co., in March, and lived on the 
lot upon which he settled till his death in 1861. Bernard 
Hawks, a native of Mass., and his son, Wm., came from Otsego 
county in 1838 and settled on lot 21, where he has since lived. 
Wm. also continues to reside in the town. Uriah Skinner came 
in from Genesee Co. the same year. Oliver Ackermau and Ze- 
bina Dickinson settled in 1839, the former on lot 8, and the 
latter on lot 1. Other early settlements were made by John 
Lindsley, on lot 2, Joseph Bennett, on lot 3, Jesse Eddy, on lot 
G, Warren Gibbs, on lot 7, Carpenter, on lot 10, T. J. Bur- 
dick, on lot 11, Samuel F. Bryant, on lot 37, Knapp, on 

lot 39, and Hiram Gibbs, on 178. Ebenezer C. Stephens settled 
on lot 28 at an early day and, with the exception of five years 
spent in Steuben Co., whence he came, has continued to reside 
on the same farm. He relates that one morning he went to 
examine a bear trap he had set in one of their run ways. The 
trap had disappeared and a search soon revealed a large she bear 
to which it was attached. He saw that she had cubs and he 
resolved to find them before dispatching her with his rifle. 
After a little search, (in which he was aided by the bear, which 
approached him when he neared their hiding place,) he found 
them hid in a clump of bushes which had grown about the 
trunks of several large prostrate trees. He immediately caught 
one and cut its throat. Its cries attracted the attention of the 
old bear, which a moment later appeared upon the scene. Mr. 
Stephens caught up his rifle and jumped upon one of the fallen 
trees and from that to others until he gained the opposite side 
of the thicket, where he watched the grief of the bear over its 
dying cub, over which it made a most piteous moaning. Soon 
she endeavored to call the others to her. One of the cubs hap- 
pened to be close behind Mr. Stephens and as it started to go by 
he jumped down upon it and cut its throat. A few moments 
later he crept around and shot the mother. The remaining 
cubs, two in number, could not be found. 

Mr. Stephens also relates the following for the truthfulness 
of which he vouches: One afternoon in the summer of 183G, 
he started earlier than usual after his cows, which were in the 
woods near the river. Having reached the river road, which 
was used only for sleds, he stopped and called his cows which 
were a few rods below the road. He looked down the road to 
his left and saw coming toward him a singular object, which he 
describes as being about the width of the sled track and two 
feet above the road bed. It appeared to be constructed of iron 
bars about one-half inch square and set in a frame so as to form 
two-inch squares. It was about three feet long and two and 



WILLING— WIS T. 1 3 2— G 



one-half feet wide. The squares which were of diiferent colors 
and unusual brightness, presented various shades of every color, 
the brilliancy of which dazzled his eyes. As it approached he 
stepped back to let it pass without going over his feet, which he 
thought would be a bad omen. When it reached a point about 
five rods beyoud him it seemed to rise and then descend and 
disappear in the earth. Of the significance of this; or whether 
it is to be attributed to an optical illusion or is referable to a 
class of oft recurring psychologic phenomena we can only con- 
jecture without a knowledge of the temperament of the nar- 
rator. We leave the reader to draw his own conclusion. 

The first death in town was that of a child in the family of 
Austin Butler, in 1837. The firsc school was taught near Bean- 
ville, in 1836, by Betsey Lovell. Allen Gilford kept the first inn, 
at Beanville, in 1838, and James R. Wood, the first store at the 
same place, in 1839. Allen W. and John Gifford built the first 
saw mill, on the Genesee at Beanville, in 1843. Harvey W. 
Leach erected the first grist mill, at Beanville, in 1843. 

The first religious services were held at the house of Daniel Baker, by 
Rev. Seneca Fish, in 1834. 

The First M. E. Churchy at Stannards Corners, was organized with thirty- 
eight members, by Rev. Wm. Rogers, in March, 1871, in which year was 
erected, at a cost of $2,500, the church edifice, which will seat 200 per- 
sons. The first pastor was Rev. J. L. Davies; the present one is Rev. 
Geo. H. Van Vradenburg. The Church has forty members. Its property 
is valued at $2,600. [Information fur nisJied by Mr. Elic McVacjh.

It is an interior town, lying south-west of the center of the 
county, and contains 33,860 acres. The surface is an upland, 
divided into three distinct ridges extending north and south. 
It is drained by the headwaters of Van Campens, Little Genesee 
and Dodges creeks. The farm of Caleb Wilcox, on road 33, lies

upon the watershed, and the water which drains frona one side 
of his house flows to the Atlantic through the Allegany, Ohio 
and Mississippi rivers, while that from the opposite side reaches 
the same ocean by the Genesee and Sfc. Lawrence rivers and 
Lake Ontario. 

The population of the town in 1870 was 1204 ; of whom all, 
except twelve, were native, and all, except fifty-four, white, 

EiCHBUiiG, (p. o.) (named from Alvan Richardson the first set- 
tler,) is situated on Little Genesee Creek, near the south line 
of the town, and contains two churches, the Richburg Acade- 
my, (which was recently merged in the public schools,) one 
hotel, two stores, two steam grist mills, two saw mills, one wag- 
on shop, one blacksmith shop, one sash, door and blind facto- 
ry, a washing machine manufactory, a tannery, capable of tan- 
ning 4,000 sides annually, cheese factory and about fifty dwell- 
ings. 

The manufacturing establishment of E, S. Bliss gives employ- 
ment to twelve persons in the manufacture principally of the 
triumph washer, of which 5,000 to 7,000 are annually made. 
The machinery is propelled by a twenty-five horse-power engine. 
Connected with the establishment is a saw mill capable of cut- 
ting 6,000 feet of lumber per day ; a shop fitted with planers, 
saws, wood and iron lathes, and other wood working machinery, 
all of modern pattern, for the manufacture of sash, doors and 
blinds ; a blacksmith shop, where the iron work for the wash- 
ing machines and repairs are done; and a printing office for the 
printing of circulars and job work of all kinds. 

The Richburg cheese factory was erected in 1871, and uses the 
milk of 450 cows. In 1873, 2,466 cheeses were made and sold 
for $18,536. Butter is made from the night's milk. 

Wirt Center, (p. o.) is situated a little west of the center of 
the town. Wilcox's cheese factory, located here, uses the milk 
of 250 to 300 cows. 

Settlement was commenced in the north part in 1812, by 
Benj. Crabtree and Levi Abbott, from Amsterdam, Montgomery 
Co. Chauncey Axtell and Horace Ketchum came in prior to 
1815, in which year Azel Buckley, from Otsego Co., and Daniel 
Willard, from Washington Co., moved in. Azel Buckley was 
born in Mass., April 4, 1792. May 18, 1814, while living in 
Otsego Co., he married Miss Mary Rowley, who was born in 
Schoharie Co., July 9, 1797, and the following February he re- 
moved to Wirt. i)ec. 25, 1827, he removed to the town of Boli- 
var, settling on lot 48, where he died in 1870, and where his wife

[Wirt— Continued from Page 132--^.] 

is still living, being one of the oldest residents in that part of 
the county. Luther Austin moved in from Otsego Co. in 1818. 
In 1820 he removed to Bolivar and subsequently resided in 
Hume, again in Bolivar and Amity, and in 1840 he settled in 
the south part of Genesee, where his son, John W. Austin, who 
came in with him frotfi Otsego Co., at the age of two years, still 
resides. Alvan Richardson and Nathan Gilbert, from Otsego 
Co., made the first settlement at Richburg in 1819. " James 
Smith came from Wyoming Co. in 1830, and his brother Per- 
kins, from the same county, the following March. Simon 
Wigbtman, Reuben Whitney and Philip Appleby, from Onon- 
daga Co., and Josiah Wheeler and Joseph Allen, from Madison 
Co., came in in 1821. Wighcman settled in the south-east part. 
Whitney located his land that year, butdid not move his family 
in till 1824. Appleby was born in Dutchess Co., Dec. 9, 1791. 
He removed from Onondaga Co. to Wyoming Co. in 1820, and 
to this town in September, 1821. He is still a resident of the 
county. Mr. Appleby says he caught forty-two deer in one trap 
within three or lour years after coming in. He says the near- 
est grist tnill was at Belfast and there were times when the set- 
tlers could get no grain ground for six weeks at a time. At such 
times the mortar and pestle, so common in all the e.irly settle- 
ments of this county, were resorted to. Mr. Appleby construct- 
ed one of the rude contrivances then in vogue for grinding 
corn and it was extensively used by the settlers in his vicinity. 
The mortar consisted of a hard-wood stump in the top of which 
a cavity capable of holding about half a bushel was burned. 
Over this was suspended a spring pole, to the end of which was 
attached the pounder in such manner as to hang directly over 
the cavity in the stump. A bar was inserted in the lower end 
of the pounder, at a convenient height, and was used as a han- 
dle. The finest of the meal resulting from this method of 
grinding was mtide into bread and the coarser into pudding. 
Jonah French came in from Wyoming Co. in 1822; and Gil- 
bert Thomas and Levi Appleby, from Onondaga Co., Calvin 
Wheeler, fi-om Madison Co., L^aiah Jordan and Elisha Dakin 
from Steuben Co., and Robert Almy, in 1823. The Applebys 
made the first settlement in the east part of the town. Jordan 
and Diikin settled in the western part. The former still lives 
upon the farm he then settled, and although he has not removed 
therefrom he has in the meantime been a resident of three dif- 
ferent towns. Pliny Evans moved in from Otsego Co. in 1824, 
;mi(1 John Scott, a native of Conn,, from Genesee Co., in the 
Slimmer of 1828. Scott, with the aid of three sons who came 
with him, made a clearing, sowed some oats and millet and 



280 ^^^^• 

built a log house. In the fall they returned to Genesee Co. and 
harvested their crops there, and late in the season they came 
and harvested their oats and millet, but before they finished snow 
fell to the depth of four inches. In the spring of 1829 Mr. Scott 
moved his family in. The first birth was that of Benj. Crab- 
tree Jr., in 1813; and the first marriage, that of Hyra Axtell 
and Lucy Crabtree, in 1814. The first school was taught in the 
north part, by Sophia Hitchcock, in 1820. Alvan Richardson 
kept the first inn in 1824. He also built the first saw mill in 
that year and the first grist mill in 1825, on Little Genesee 
Creek, near Richburg. Francis L. Leroy kept the first store in 
1824. 

The first religious services were held by the Baptists, at the house of 
Benj. Crabtree, in 1816, and were conducted by Rev. Jonathan Post. The 
first Church was formed by members of the same denomination in 1826. 

The Seventh Day Baptist Church of Wirt and Bolivar, at Richburg, was 
organized with eighteen members, Dec. 30, 1827. The first pastor was 
Rev. John Green; the present one is Rev. G. J. Crandall. The Church 
property is valued at $3500. [^Information furnished by Mr. E. 8. Bliss.
